[chef] Re: Data bag usage in recipe. Failure. HTTP Request Returned 404 Object Not Found

[Jeff Byrnes < >]

The confusion here is that the data bag item is what you refer as the data bag. In your case, the data bag is `db_databag`, and the data bag item is `tenant`.

That is, this is the data bag item:

{

  "id": "tenant",

  "tenant_name": "db_test1",

  "db_name": "db_name1",

  "path": "path1",

  "any_other_stuff": "some_stuff1"

}

So you want to query for it like so:

tenant_data_bag = data_bag_item ‘db_databag’, ‘tenant’

tenant_name = tenant_data_bag[‘tenant_name’]

path = tenant_data_bag[‘path’]

Does that make more sense?

Hi guys,

I am really struggle with getting data bags data into my recipe:

Here is recipe:

val1 = data_bag_item('db_databag', 'tenant_name')

val2 = data_bag_item('db_databag', 'path')

val3 = data_bag_item('db_databag', 'db_name')

val4 = data_bag_item('db_databag', 'any_other_stuff')

template 'c:\test_template.txt' do

  source 'test.txt.erb'

  variables({

    :value1 => "this is FIRST #{val1}",

    :value2 => "this is SECOND #{val2}",

    :value3 => "this is THIRD #{val3}",

    :value4 => "this is FORTH #{val4}"

  })

end

Here is Data bag:

{

  "id": "tenant",

  "tenant_name": "db_test1",

  "db_name": "db_name1",

  "path": "path1",

  "any_other_stuff": "some_stuff1"

}

Here is Template file:

some text will be: <%= @value1 %>

some text will be:  <%= @value2 %>

some text will be:  <%= @value3 %>

some text will be:  <%= @value4 %>

Chef-client version I have on a client side:

C:\Users\tklym>chef-client --version

Chef: 11.16.4

Client's platform is windows 2008 R2.

And here what I get when I run chef-client:

Have no idea how to get access to data bag data... :(

Thank you in advance for your help.
