Hello,
We are trying to run a little complex search query in one of our recipes
which looks something like:
search(:node, “my_attribute:test AND (roles:first_role OR roles:second_role
OR roles:third_role OR roles:fourth_role)”)
The idea being to retrieve all nodes which have a particular attribute set
and has one of the given roles on its runlist. Is the above query the best
way to write that? The problem is this used to work fine with Chef 10 but
has started failing with Chef 11.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
The problem is this used to work fine with Chef 10 but has started failing with Chef 11.
When you say that the search started to fail, do you mean that you are
receiving an error message or that the search no longer returns the
expected results?
Sincerely,
Steven

Thanks for the reply Steven. The search started giving a 400 Bad Request in
Chef 11. Specifically all I was getting on the client end was this:
Net::HTTPServerException
400 "Bad Request"
Digging deeper, I was able to figure out the root cause of my problem. The
issue is that my query had newline characters in it. So for instance, the
query
search(:node, "my_attribute:test AND (roles:first_role
OR
roles:second_role
OR roles:third_role
OR
roles:fourth_role)")
This will work just fine with Chef 10 but will fail with Chef 11 with the
400 error. Removing the newlines, I was able to get it working for both
versions.
Do you think this is a bug or an expected behavior? I wasn't able to find
any documentation surrounding this here[1].
