[chef] Re: "chef-client -z" can not find my node

[Lamont Granquist < >]

chef-client -z gets data from the file system via the chef-zero server that gets spun up on localhost:8889.  the behavior you are seeing is working as designed.

you need to add a roles/was_v85_role.json file and then your run will converge.

you also don't have to pass the -j option on the command line.  you might, however, want to create a separate dna.json file and invoke it with "-j dna.json" which has the same contents.  the chef-zero server will then create the nodes/was_v85_node.json file and save the updated node there at the end of the run_list.   if you don't want chef-zero to overwrite your json file with the updated node contents, then use "-j dna.json" instead.

Hi,

     I have tried to execute my cookbook using this command:
    
         chef]# chef-client --local-mode -c client.rb -j  nodes/was_v85_node.json -N was_v85

     This is my node declaration called by the chef execution:

        {"run_list":["role[was_v85_role]"]}

     I have received this message:

         [2014-09-18T13:14:30-04:00] INFO: Forking chef instance to converge...

    I would like figure out why my role declaration inside my node isn't working
       
        Here's my client.rb declaration:

        chef]# cat client.rb
        CHEF_DIR = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))
        file_cache_path "/tmp/chef-client"
        role_path "/devops/commom/chef/roles"
        #role_path CHEF_DIR + "/devops/commom/chef/roles"
        environment_path CHEF_DIR + "/environments"
        data_bag_path CHEF_DIR + "/data_bags"
        cookbook_path CHEF_DIR + "/cookbooks"

        ssl_client_cert CHEF_DIR + "/.ssl/client.crt"
        ssl_client_key  CHEF_DIR + "/.ssl/client.key"
        ssl_verify_mode :verify_peer

        #LOG
        log_level:info
   
  
    It works pretty well with chef solo, but not with "chef-client -local--mode", any suggestion?

Muito obrigado,
