I have nothing but troubles with data bags. The docs have an example for
creating an encrypted data bag:
knife data bag from file my_data_bag /path/to/data_bag_item.json -z
–secret-file /path/to/encrypted_data_bag_secret
My version is:
knife data bag from file aws_sg aws_sg/creds.json --secret foobar
Chef is returning:
ERROR: The object you are looking for could not be found
Response: No data bag ‘aws_sg’ could be found. Please create this data bag
before adding items to it.
My file is:
wsip-70-164-152-148:chef-sauce doug$ cat data_bags/aws_sg/creds.json
{
“id”: “creds”,
“aws_access_key_id”: “xxx”,
“aws_secret_access_key”: “yyy”
}
So, what’s wrong with that? I thought that’s what I was TRYING to… ie
create the data bag…
If the data bag 'aws_sg' does not yet exist, you have to create it first.
The command would be:
knife data bag create aws_sg
Then your command:
knife data bag from file aws_sg aws_sg/creds.json --secret foobar
...should work.
As the name implies, a data bag is a container, while the "creds.json" file
you're trying to upload is an item to be placed in the container. If the
container does not exist, you cannot place an item in it.
