Search for environment with hyphen

Chef Infra (archive)
1

I’m having some difficulties with a node search not returning any results when matching on an environment with a hyphen in the name.

Example:

$ knife search node 'environment:production-ord’
0 items found

$ knife node show api-n01.ord.example.com
Node Name: api-n01.ord.example.com
Environment: production-ord

I’ve tried escaping the hyphen, which returns invalid search query. I’ve tried surrounding the environment name with double quotes. The search works fine for environments without a hyphen, such as “staging”.

$ knife search node 'environment:staging’
22 items found
…

I’m using knife from Chef 11.8.2 and the Chef server is 11.0.10.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try using an underscore instead.

Well, a dodgy way to do it is to do production*ord...

No dice.

$ knife search node 'environment:production*ord'
0 items found

Additionally, something odd is happening when I search for "environment:production*".

$ knife search node 'environment:production*'
7 items found

Node Name: lb-n01.prod.example.com
Environment: joule-prod
…

Node Name: heat-ui.example.com
Environment: inova
…

The environments I have are:

dev <-- works
qa <-- works
staging <-- works
inova
joule-prod
production-dfw
production-ord
production-iad
production-lon
production-syd
production-hkg

It should be chef_environment, not environment.

i think it just needs to be escaped to -
