Correct bootstrap template file option?

Chef Infra (archive)

I want to use my custom bootstrap template file for a Windows bootstrap. What is the correct option in chef-client v12.0.3?

If I do knife bootstrap -help, I get
–template-file TEMPLATE Full path to location of template to use. [DEPRECATED] Use -t / --bootstrap-template option instead.

So I do

knife bootstrap windows winrm ‘mynode.domain.com’ -x “Administrator” -P “password” -p 5985 --bootstrap-template .chef/bootstrap/sslfix_windows-chef-client-msi.erb
Error: invalid option: --bootstrap-template

If I do

knife bootstrap windows winrm ‘mynode.domain.com’ -x “Administrator” -P “password” -p 5985 --template-file .chef/bootstrap/sslfix_windows-chef-client-msi.erb

I don’t see my custom template being run (I don’t see echo statements I added)

Any clues?

I think --template-file loads from the template bootstrap directory (or
something) so you would specify --template-file sslfxi_windows-chef-client-msi.erb in this case.

The --bootstrap-template option which accepts the full file path, appears
to be the one you are looking for and is not deprecated.
