Hello folks,

Able to do this:
-knife exec -E “nodes.all {|n| puts n}” //SHOW

Notable to do this:
-knife exec -E “data_bag_item(‘build’, ‘var’) {|n| puts n}”
-knife exec -E “data_bag_item(‘build’, ‘var’).all {|n| puts n}” // ERROR
-knife exec -E “data_bag(‘build’). {|n| puts n}”
-knife exec -E “data_bag(‘build’).all {|n| puts n}” // ERROR

any reason?

How can i list data bag content by knife exec.

What’s wrong with “knife data bag show build var”?

after getting the item in data_bag, i hv to edit the values for attribute.

If you want to use the more sugary chef-shell syntax, it's something like this:

databags("cookbook-up-log").show("20130210191615")

You can access some docs via chef-shell (nee shef) by running the help command; for in-depth help on a topic, use something like help :databags.
