When I created the nodes I specified the bootstrap-version argument in
knife. Since then, chef-client has been updated. How do I get the new
chef-client on my nodes?
I’m using the chef-client cookbook, but I didn’t see a way to specify the
client version to install (or a URL to download it from) in the attributes
there.
Thanks!
Hey Greg, have you looked at GitHub - chef-boneyard/omnibus_updater: DEPRECATED: Chef cookbook to update the omnibus packaged Chef client?
I think that is what you are after.

Just tried using this cookbook but I quickly ran into this issue:
https://github.com/hw-cookbooks/omnibus_updater/issues/49
==> default: [2015-06-11T18:00:36+00:00] DEBUG: Re-raising exception:
LoadError - cannot load such file -- highline
It did update the chef-client version and a subsequent converge seems to
complete successfully.
Anybody else run into this? Do I just have to live with the fact that the
first converge after upgrade is gonna fail?

i use blender, and upgrade from outside in. this is the happy path

you are likely to add more steps depending upon your installation. like
(/opt/chef/embedded/bin/gem install foo, if foo is required in config)
cheers

Ideally I'd like to stick with just using chef to do the update, especially
since omnibus_updater is what they used to update Hosted Chef.
Still can't get around this "cannot load such file -- highline" issue
though. I've got depends 'omnibus_updater' in my metadata. Tried going from
11.16.2 to 12.3.0 and 11.18.12 to 12.3.0, neither worked.
Would it matter that I'm trying this in a Vagrant box using the chef-solo
provisioner?
