[chef] chef-solo-search not working

[Liam Kirsher < >]

Hi --

Any ideas on this one? It used to work.  I know there were some changes going from Chef 10 to 11, so I suspect it has something to do with that.  For testing I added chef-solo-search to the dna.json file

{"run_list": ["recipe[chef-solo-search]","role[slave]"] }

But it was already in the recipe metatdata.rb file as a dependency.

if Chef::Config[:solo]
 37:      # This is using chef-solo-search, which looks in data bag node/master.json
 38:      master_node = search(:node, 'name:master').first
 39:      if master_node.nil?
 40>>       raise "Master node not found!"
 41:      end

The solo.rb file has

base = File.expand_path('..', __FILE__)

nodes_path                File.join(base, 'nodes')
role_path                 File.join(base, 'roles')
data_bag_path             File.join(base, 'data_bags')
encrypted_data_bag_secret File.join(base, 'data_bag_key')
environment_path          File.join(base, 'environments')
environment               "_default"

cookbook_path []
cookbook_path << File.join(base, 'cookbooks-1') # /home/liam/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p385/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/knife-solo-0.4.0/lib/knife-solo/resources/patch_cookbooks
cookbook_path << File.join(base, 'cookbooks-2') # /home/liam/Documents/Client/chef-repo/cookbooks
cookbook_path << File.join(base, 'cookbooks-3') # /home/liam/Documents/Client/chef-repo/site-cookbooks

The <base>/data_bags/ directory:

data_bags/node:
  master.json

The master.json file

{
  "id": "master",
  "name": "master",
  "chef_environment": "_default",
  "json_class": "Chef::Node",
  "normal": {
  },
  "chef_type": "node",

So,
