In my chef-repo's knife.rb file, I've the following config for `encrypted_data_bag_secret`
......
# Encrypted data bag secret file
knife[:encrypted_data_bag_secret] = "/Users/millisami/.chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret"
......
And this is the snippet of the default chef-full distro:
<% if @chef_config[:encrypted_data_bag_secret] -%>
(
cat <<'EOP'
<%= encrypted_data_bag_secret %>
EOP
) > /tmp/encrypted_data_bag_secret
awk NF /tmp/encrypted_data_bag_secret > /etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret
rm /tmp/encrypted_data_bag_secret
<% end -%>
But when bootstrapping, the file is not created on the node. Debugging around when I print the value of
:encrypted_data_bag_secret]` is `nil` and so does the `<%= encrypted_data_bag_secret %>` erb call.
Then I changed the config var to `knife_config[:encrypted_data_bag_secret]` and the `File.read..` and the file location and the contents is also set properly.
<% if knife_config[:encrypted_data_bag_secret] -%>
(
cat <<'EOP'
<%= File.read(knife_config[:encrypted_data_bag_secret]) %>
EOP
) > /tmp/encrypted_data_bag_secret
awk NF /tmp/encrypted_data_bag_secret > /etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret
rm /tmp/encrypted_data_bag_secret
<% end -%>
But still when issuing the bootstrap command, the file is not getting created at node's `/etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret` ?
What might be the cause?
