knife node run list add Node1 "role[webserver]" add actually "recipe[roles]"

[Gabriel Enache]

Hello guys,

I have a node named Node1.

As per Webinar3, i wanted to remove from node's run list recipe apache and add role[webserver]

Running the command as presented in the webinar, instead of adding role webserver to my runlist, the command added recipe[roles]. Below i'll present the output of running commands:

$ knife role from file webserver.json

Updated Role webserver!

$ knife node run list remove node1 "recipe[httpd]"

node1:

  run_list:

$ knife node run list add node1 "role[webserver]"

node11:

  run_list: recipe[roles]

$ knife node show node1

Node Name:   node1

Environment: test

FQDN:        node1.company.corp

IP:          10.10.10.109

Run List:    recipe[roles]

Roles:

Recipes:     httpd, httpd::default

Platform:    centos 6.7

Any ideea why is this happening?

To overcome this problem, I've edited the node with

$ knife node edit node1

and the output of the 

$ knife node show node1

Node Name:   node1

Environment: test

FQDN:        node1.company.corp

IP:          10.10.10.109

Run List:    role[webserver]

Roles:       webserver

Recipes:     httpd, httpd::default

Platform:    centos 6.7

Thank you, Nathen.

it is solved by escaping the quotes.
