[chef] Re: Re: knife command

Hello,

"knife cookbook upload" command works.

“knife upload” command does not work.

But I could upload by this command instead.

"knife role from file roles/*.json”

And after that, upload command works.

“knife upload roles”

I’m not sure why once upload files to chef-server, upload command works. 

Anyway Thank you for the reply.

Thanks.

Hello

I'm trying to upload objects(cookbook, role...etc) from workstation to chef-server.

these knife command works: (knife OBJECT ...)

e.g)

- knife cookbook upload

- knife cookbook list

- knife node list

But these knife command does not work: (knife VERB ...)

- Regarding list command,

if use /, it works. but I don't want to use /. How can I do it?

    # pwd

    /root/chef-repo

    # knife list cookbooks

    ERROR: Attempt to use relative path 'cookbooks' when current directory is outside the repository path

    # knife list /cookbooks

    /cookbooks/chef-client  /cookbooks/cron         /cookbooks/logrotate    /cookbooks/selinux

- Regarding upload command,

following error is displayed. How can I fix this?

    # pwd

    /root/chef-repo

    # knife upload roles

    ERROR: Attempt to use relative path 'role' when current directory is outside the repository path

    # knife upload cookbooks

    ERROR: Attempt to use relative path 'cookbooks' when current directory is outside the repository path

if use /, the responce is back(but no message). but the role is not uploaded to chef-server.

    # knife role list

    

    # knife upload /roles

    # knife role list

    

    #

Although I tried to move knife.rb from /root/.chef/ to /root/chef-repo/.chef/ and modify appropriate path, it was same result.
