I keep getting the same error, no matter what I do. I am still a Chef-Noob.  
Can anyone give me a clue?

Inside of a Vagrant image, I am trying to make a working test of the demo  
at:

> **[poise/application\_python](https://github.com/poise/application_python)**
>
> A Chef cookbook to deploy Python applications. Contribute to poise/application\_python development by creating an account on GitHub.

It runs until I get the error:

The example as written is not compatible with chef-solo because it uses the search API. You can modify to hard-code the hostnames for the database server and application servers (presumably in your case both are just ['localhost']).

Thankyou so much!!!!!!!!!

I was able to locate and comment out the search code. Is there a  
configuration based way to do this that would be less hacky?

Yes, both the database config in the django block and the nginx config accept a manual override (#host in the database, #hosts in the nginx) which if present will make it not fall back to search().

Honestly, while that plugin is hella cool you are MUCH better off making a  
decision one way or the other if a cookbook will or will not support solo.  
The changes needed for that are so minimal that I can see no real need to  
require something external that would have to track upstream changes in the  
chef search API.

The logic needed to make a search-based recipe support solo can be boiled  
down to:

- Add attribute support for static definition of anything that would  
normally come back from a search result
- Add a conditional logic to use static attributes instead of search results
- Additionally, you can also favor static definitions of attributes over  
search results either by default (use static first and fallback to search  
if available) or as an attribute flag (node['foobar']['use\_static'] = true)

I tend to prefer the second approach in the last bullet as I don't want an  
accidental attribute overriding search results.

Regardless, as a side effect you get a much more community friendly  
cookbook and one that is more testable.
