[chef] How do I set a path for roles, environments, and data bags in my knife.rb?

[Stephen Corbesero < >]

 

The knife.rb lets you specify a cookbook_path.

 

I want to get the same effect for roles, environments, and data bags. 

 

I have the following in my knife.rb file

 

current_dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)

cookbook_path  ["#{current_dir}/../cookbooks"]

 

# the following don't seem to work.  :(

 

role_path           ["#{current_dir}/../roles"]

environment_path   ["#{current_dir}/../environments"]

data_bag_path       ["#{current_dir}/../data_bags"]

 

I remember seeing how to do this somewhere along time ago, but I can’t find the original reference.  I have been looking, and I see several references that strongly imply these should work, or something similar like making the object name plural (roles_path)

 

I have tried several permutations, including  statements like knife[:role_path] = …, but nothing seems to work.

 

Is it possible  What is the correct format?

 

Thanks in advance.
