My chef client on vagrant is:

chef-client -v

Chef: 10.14.2

My knife command was:

knife data bag create production passwords --secret-file /etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret

Thanks,

I am having an issue with encrypted data bags with chef 11.4.4 and vagrant 1.2.2.

I was able to successfully create, show encrypted and decrypted data bags with no issue via knife.

But once I dropped it into a recipe it threw me an error.

Here is the portion of the recipe that does not error.

secret = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load_secret("#{node[:production][:secretpath]}") - This spits back the contents of the /etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret


When I add the below it throws an error
pass_keys = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load("production", "passwords", secret)


<error>
[2013-06-18T18:43:48+00:00] FATAL: Chef::Exceptions::ValidationFailed: Data Bag Items must contain a Hash or Mash!

</error>

Not sure why I am getting this issue.

Any help would be good.

Thanks!

A few questions:

* How'd you upload the data bag item to the server? (Specific knife command)

* What version of Chef client is running?
