Access to chef environment in Rakefile

Chef Infra (archive)

Hello,

Is there any way to have an access to chef environment, run search etc. from chef-repo’s Rakefile? I’ve noticed that when I need to access search I’m creating a script which I then run via knife exec …. Can I do it somehow directly from Rakefile without shelling-out?

Thanks,

sure... you can use the chef api with your knife config file to get
pretty much everything that you want within your rake task.

require 'chef'
Chef::Config.from_file()

Chef::Node.list
Chef::Node.load(<node_name>).attributex
