[chef] RE: Deleting Node attributes using Knife

[Kapil Shardha < >]

 

The workaround I have been using is to use “knife node edit <NODENAME>” and manually delete the attributes. This is acceptable to me for now but would appreciate if I can get more insight on why the knife command mentioned in original post does not work.

 

Thanks

Subject: [chef] Deleting Node attributes using Knife

 

I am trying to delete node attribute using knife, as mentioned in http://docs.opscode.com/essentials_cookbook_resources_first_run.html (towards the end).  The commands completes without any errors but I can still see the attribute in Chef Server UI. The same issue is mentioned at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20624221/not-able-to-delete-node-attribute-using-knife-command.

 

I ran the same command with –VV switch to get verbose output and I see HTTP 200 OK debug messages. The “knife search node ‘<ATTRIBUTE>’” returns the correct node.

 

Any idea if it is a bug?

 

Thanks
