Hi,

 

That was the way I was doing it first of all but I now need to pass in parameters that can be different for each environment which in this case is an app software location, so I wanted to do something like:

 

UpdateWebServer.bat

chef-solo -c solo.rb -o "role[webserver]" –j productionSettings.json

 

UpdateMarkLogic.bat

chef-solo -c solo.rb -o "role[marklogic]" –j productionSettings.json

 

Thanks

 

Dan

Hi Dan,

 

I think you want to use -j specifying a JSON file that would include attributed to override in the current "runlist" check out this following link: http://wiki.opscode.com/plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId=13173227

Hi,

I'm trying to pass an override list into chef-solo but I can't seem to make it accept a role for example this works:

chef-solo -c solo.rb -o "webserver"
Results in:

[2013-06-04T17:15:48+01:00] WARN: Original Run List: [role[marklogic]]
[2013-06-04T17:15:48+01:00] WARN: Overridden Run List: [recipe[webserver]]

But something like:

chef-solo -c solo.rb -o "role[base]"
results in:

[2013-06-04T17:18:27+01:00] WARN: Original Run List: [role[marklogic]]
[2013-06-04T17:18:27+01:00] WARN: Overridden Run List: [recipe[roles]]

Any ideas how I can pass in a role to the override list in chef-solo?

Thanks

Dan
