It would be nice to know the reasoning behind not using the REST client.

When I have the time, I'll experiment with both before deciding the way forward.

Thanks!

I seem to recall someone from Opscode steering people away from making direct calls using Chef's internal REST client for some reason.  I'd do it through the Knife object, something like (untested code alert):

Chef::Knife::ClientDelete.run(env[:vm].config.vm.host_name)

Nice one.

Just one correction to my original post, the link to my gist is https://gist.github.com/4223941 and not the one I sent before (that was a reference).

I like your REST approach, though, and will certainly have a look at that.

Thanks,

You can check out the code in my chef-sandbox  that does this using the vagrant provisioner class and chef client code directly (no syscall:

Change:

::Chef::Config.from_file(File.join( File.dirname(__FILE__), 'chef', 'knife.rb'))

To point to your knife.rb location.

Pop the rest in your vagrant file, and you should be good.

I was trying to find a solution for that on the web, and the two references that made more sense were:

http://frank.be/articles/2011/12/16/vagrant-and-chef-auto-deregister-on-vm-destroy/

https://gist.github.com/1010660

Neither worked out of the box, so I hacked my own solution, adapting a bit from each, and came to this:

Feel free to use it if you find it useful. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Cheers!
