We have begun playing with policy files and started building them in our data_bags/policyfiles/ and it's been working. We wanted to try running it with chef-run as an intermediate step after kitchen before deploying to chef-server and live servers but it doesn't seem to be able to run them.
For example,
cd chef/data_bags/policyfiles
chef-run user@192.168.31.24 mypolicy.rb -i /mykeyfile
[
] Packaging cookbook... done!
[] Generating local policyfile... exporting... done!
[
] Applying mypolicy from mypolicy.rb to target.
└── [] [192.168.31.24] Failed to converge mypolicy.
'name' is not a valid Chef resource.
I tried to use my lock file but it said it was not a valid file being .json extension. Is there a way to get chef-run to do a run-list / policyfile that is not in a cookbook folder or named Policyfile.rb
