Hi,

 

Thanks for looking into this, I found that the workaround in ticket http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4277#comment-36700 didn’t quite work but simply using single quotes did the trick to make roles work:

 

chef-solo -c solo.rb -o 'role[webServer]'

 

Thanks

 

Dan

Hi,

 

I get the same result with version 11.4.4:

 

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

Is this a bug?

I see you're on Windows, so I think it's somehow windows related. But definitely a bug. You should file a bug report on tickets.opscode.com

My colleagues did some investigation and it appears to somehow be related to mingw: http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-4277

 

They found that doubling up on quotes seems to work around the issue: chef-solo -o '"role[foo]"'

 

And thanks for filing the bug report, by the way.
