[chef] Re: Re: Node Role isn't updated

["Michael L." < >]

$ knife node show win-conv1 -a roles

roles:  converter

Moreover, I can see the other nodes by " knife search node 'roles:another_role' " 

I aslo have browsed the couchDB and verified the "by_role" nodes filter shows the windows box correctly.

The role was applied using "run_list add" knife sub-comand.

BTW, another issue (probably related) - I cannot edit node:

$ knife node edit win-conv1

Node not updated, skipping node save

(empty editor window popped up)

Any thoughts ?

Can you check if the issue is specific to search?
Try;
knife node show <name> -a roles
And check if you can see the role. If you can then its a sold specific issue , otherwise its something to do with chef.
How the role is being applied? Directly using run list or via some other means?

Hi,
I am deploying a windows node with Chef (for the first time I use windows OS with Chef).
All goes well beside one thing:

1. The windows machine has chef client and successfully runs it.
2. I see the windows node amongst other nodes in chef server.
3. I see that the windows machine has the proper "role" name (converter) in its run list.

The major problem is when I am trying to search the nodes under this role name I get empty list:

$ knife search node "roles:converter"
0 items found

Another issue I have noticed:
When I run the chef-client on the windows node, I have 404 warning, below is the full output of chef-client run:
