sure... you can use the chef api with  your knife config file  to get pretty much everything that you want within your rake task.

 

require  'chef'

Chef::Config.from_file(<path to your knife config>)

Chef::Node.list

Chef::Node.load(<node_name>).attributex

Hello,

Is there any way to have an access to chef environment, run search etc. from chef-repo's Rakefile? I've noticed that when I need to access search I'm creating a script which I then run via `knife exec …`. Can I do it somehow directly from Rakefile without shelling-out?

Thanks,
