The chef executable is a command-line tool that does the following:

  • Generates repositories, cookbooks, recipes, attributes, templates, and custom resources.
  • Installs gems into the Chef development environment's Ruby installation.
  • Helps you manage your Policyfiles. Please refer the Policyfile commands section.

{{< note >}}

By default, the cookbook cache is located in ~/.chef-workstation on macOS and Linux, and in %LOCALAPPDATA%\chef-workstation on Windows. On macOS or Linux, set the desired location of the cache directory by setting the CHEF_WORKSTATION_HOME environment variable in your .bashrc or zshrc file. For example, CHEF_WORKSTATION_HOME="~/.workstation". On Windows, use the setx command or access the Advanced tab in System Properties to set the CHEF_WORKSTATION_HOME environment variable.

chef capture

Use the chef capture subcommand to capture a node's state as a local chef-repo. Use the generated repository if you need to converge a node locally.

Syntax

This subcommand has the following syntax:

chef capture NODE-NAME [options]

Options

-c, --credentials

: Credentials file (default $HOME/.chef/credentials).

-d, --with-data-bags

: Download all data bags as part of node capture.

-h, --help

: Show help for the command.

-k, --client-key

: Chef Infra Server API client key.

-n, --client-name

: Chef Infra Server API client name.

-o, --ssl-no-verify

: Do not verify SSL when connecting to Chef Infra Server (default: verify).

-p, --profile

: Profile to use from credentials file (default "default").

-s, --chef-server-url

: Chef Infra Server URL.

Examples

Capture a node

To capture a node in a local repository, run a command similar to:

chef capture test-server

This will return something similar to:

- Setting up local repository
 - Capturing node object 'test-server'
 - Capturing policy data...
 - Capturing cookbook artifacts...
 - Writing kitchen configuration...

Repository has been created in './node-test-server-repo'.

Next, locate version-controlled copies of the cookbooks. This is
important so that you can track changes to the cookbooks as you
edit them. You may have one or more existing paths where you have
checked out cookbooks. If not, now is a good time to open a
separate terminal and clone or check out the cookbooks.

If all cookbooks are not available in the same base location,
you will have a chance to provide additional locations.

Press Enter to Continue:

You're ready to begin!

Start with 'cd ./node-test-server-repo; kitchen converge'.

As you identify issues, you can modify cookbooks in their
original checkout locations or in the repository's cookbooks
directory and they will be picked up on subsequent runs
of 'kitchen converge'.

See the Upgrade Lab documentation for additional information on upgrading Chef Infra Client.

chef shell-init

Use the chef shell-init subcommand to set the Ruby included in Chef Workstation as the system Ruby. Chef Workstation is designed to allow the isolation of applications used by Chef Workstation from other Ruby development tools that may be present on the workstation. This supports Bash, fish, Windows PowerShell (posh), and zsh.

Syntax

This subcommand has the following syntax:

chef shell-init SHELL_NAME (options)

Options

This subcommand has the following options:

-h, --help

: Show help for the command.

-v, --version

: The Chef Infra Client version.

Examples

Set PowerShell

You can use the chef shell-init command with Windows PowerShell to add the appropriate variables to your environment.

To try it in your current session:

chef shell-init powershell | Invoke-Expression

To enable it permanently:

"chef shell-init powershell | Invoke-Expression" >> $PROFILE

Set the execution policy on new machines

On new Windows machines, PowerShell scripts will not work until an administrator runs the following command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Create a $PROFILE on new machines

On new Windows machines, commands cannot be appended to $PROFILE if the folder does not exist, or if there is a new user profile. This will result in an error similar to the following:

PS C:\Users\Stuart> "chef shell-init powershell | Invoke-Expression" >> $PROFILE
out-file : Could not find a part of the path
'C:\Users\Stuart\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1'.
At line:1 char:1
+ "chef shell-init powershell | Invoke-Expression" >> $PROFILE
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (:) [Out-File], DirectoryNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : FileOpenFailure,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutFileCommand

In this situation, run the following chef shell-init command instead:

if(Test-Path $PROFILE){ chef shell-init powershell | Add-Content $PROFILE } else { New-Item -Force -ItemType File $PROFILE; chef shell-init powershell | Add-Content $PROFILE }
