Search - Learning Chef - page 270

Edit the .kitchen.yml to make sure you are using the chef_zero provisioner and our favorite
basebox image as shown in Example 12-1 . Notice there is a new addition to the provision-
er: stanza, the nodes_path:
provisioner :
name : chef_zero
nodes_path : . . /. . / nodes
nodes_path is a relative path pointing to the chef-playground/nodes directory we created
with our test data in Chapter 11 . Test data is normally located somewhere outside the main
cookbook source code so it doesn't get inadvertently uploaded to the Chef server.
Example 12-1. chefdk/chef-playground/cookbooks/nodes/.kitchen.yml

Let's write a recipe that performs a search query on Chef Server for all nodes, like we did in
the previous section. Chef provides a search() method that you can use in your Chef code.
It takes two parameters, similar to the two command line parameters used in knife search :
search( index , search_query ) :
index
Possible values for index are node , client , environment , role , and <name of data
bag> . In this example, we'll be using node .
