[chef] Re: Validation Error using encrypted databags on windows

[Sachin Gupta < >]

Hi Tyler,

These are the steps I am executing for creating data bags on windows

C:\Users\sachkkum\chef-repo>set RANDFILE=D:\Secret_key_Win\.rnd

C:\Users\sachkkum\chef-repo>openssl rand -base64 2048 >  D:\Secret_key_Win\encrypted_data_bag_secret

C:\Users\sachkkum\chef-repo>set EDITOR="%windir%\system32\notepad.exe"

C:\Users\sachkkum\chef-repo>knife data bag create --local-mode  credentials WinTest --secret-file D:\Secret_key_Win\encrypted_data_bag_secret
Created data_bag[credentials]
Created data_bag_item[WinTest]



C:\Users\sachkkum\chef-repo>cat data_bags\credentials\WinTest.json
{
  "id": "WinTest",
  "username": {
    "encrypted_data": "IvDS8Sb+ZS3Xwl5sw74/17moKk/fwnkMMeEycCTlJvY=\n",
    "iv": "UakZ8xbJtsUI+aB04nSEeg==\n",
    "version": 1,
    "cipher": "aes-256-cbc"
  },
  "password": {
    "encrypted_data": "qKJqOTKFWeuE9HznSy+7+/KxsURHvcK3+b7CClBSB2U=\n",
    "iv": "j4cMqNGiMWzAJA8W1ssFRg==\n",
    "version": 1,
    "cipher": "aes-256-cbc"
  }
}
C:\Users\sachkkum\chef-repo>

--------- Inside the recipe I am calling load data bags function--

secret = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load_secret('D:\Secret_key_Win\encrypted_data_bag_secret')
win_cred=Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load("credentials","WinTest", secret)

while loading I am getting error message as "FATAL: Chef::Exceptions::ValidationFailed: Data Bag Items must contain a Hash or Mash!"

attached is the chef-stractrace.out

Thanks
Sachin

Hey Sachin, I would like to see the full stacktrace of that exception.  Can you enable debug logging(`-l debug`), run it again and grab the stacktrace?  You may also see a message like `Stacktrace dumped to c:/chef/cache/chef-stacktrace.out` showing where the stacktrace is stored.

Hi Julian,

I changed the data_bag_path 
data_bag_path  "C:\\Users\\sachkkum\\chef-repo\\data_bags" or data_bag_path  'C:\Users\sachkkum\chef-repo\data_bags'
 but still the same error

Chef::Exceptions::ValidationFailed
----------------------------------
Data Bag Items must contain a Hash or Mash!

Thanks

Is that literally what it says? What is "root"?
