[chef] Re: Correct bootstrap template file option?

[AJ Christensen < >]

I think --template-file loads from the template bootstrap directory (or something) so you would specify `--template-file sslfxi_windows-chef-client-msi.erb` in this case.

The --bootstrap-template option which accepts the full file path, appears to be the one you are looking for and is not deprecated.

I want to use my custom bootstrap template file for a Windows bootstrap. What is the correct option in chef-client v12.0.3?

 

If I do knife bootstrap –help, I get

--template-file TEMPLATE     Full path to location of template to use. [DEPRECATED] Use -t / --bootstrap-template option instead.

 

 

So I do

 

knife bootstrap windows winrm 'mynode.domain.com' -x "Administrator" -P "password" -p 5985 --bootstrap-template .chef/bootstrap/sslfix_windows-chef-client-msi.erb

Error: invalid option: --bootstrap-template

 

If I do

 

knife bootstrap windows winrm 'mynode.domain.com' -x "Administrator" -P "password" -p 5985 -–template-file .chef/bootstrap/sslfix_windows-chef-client-msi.erb

 

I don’t see my custom template being run (I don’t see echo statements I added)

 

Any clues?
