[chef] knife role edit lexical error

[Sean Staats < >]

I'm trying to add a recipe to the run_list of a role and don't know what I'm doing wrong...

$ knife role edit apache2-servers
ERROR: Yajl::ParseError: lexical error: invalid char in json text.
          ype": "role",   "run_list": ['recipe[apache2]'    ],   "env_
                       (right here) ------^

Note that the "right here" carat is pointing to the 'r' in recipe.

Here is the entire role JSON file when beginning to edit it:

{

  "name": "apache2-servers",

  "description": "Apache2 servers role",

  "json_class": "Chef::Role",

  "default_attributes": {

  },

  "override_attributes": {

  },

  "chef_type": "role",

  "run_list": [

  ],

  "env_run_lists": {

  }

}

Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.
