Hi,

 

I get the same result with version 11.4.4:

 

For some reason the –o parameter doesn’t work correctly.

 

C:\Projects\Dev Ops\Chef>chef-solo -c solo.rb -o "role[base]" -ldebug

Is this a bug?

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

This looks like a legit bug, but I cannot reproduce it easily. 

 

```

chef-solo -o "role[foo]"

Missing Role(s) in Run List:

* foo included by 'top level'

 

 

Original Run List

```

 

What version of Chef do you have? Can you run with -ldebug and provide relevant output?
