Trying to get solo working and almost there

I am trying to get chef solo going. I have set up a script to rsync
the files to the server and run chef solo but I get this error.

Starting Chef Run for ubuntuvm1

It’s happening when I attempt to use the users::sysadmins recipe.

Looks like you are running chef-client rather than solo?

That recipe is probably trying to load users from data bags.

There is data bag support for chef-solo in 0.10.6 which is still in the RC phase; you can get it with gem install chef --pre. I'm not sure exactly where chef-solo will be looking for the data bag items so you'll have to play with it a bit.

Actually, data bag support for chef-solo was added with Chef 0.10.4
The user cookbook though uses search, which may be what triggers that
client.pem error.

If you want to use with chef-solo a cookbook that uses search, you
will need this lib:

Just add it to your deployed cookbooks and search will work.

We should consider adding this functionality to core, eh?

Makes sense, yes.
How would you like us to contribute it?

Please start at the How to Contribute [1] page on the wiki. We will
need a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) and a ticket for the new
feature on the ticket tracking system [2]. If you can factor the solo
search code into the core project from the github project yourself,
that would be awesome. Once you've got it figured out, dropping a link
to a github branch in the ticket and marking the ticket as resolved
will help us find it at our weekly triage meetings and the triage team
at Opscode will review it. If you need any help figuring out the code
or making architectural decisions, we're always happy to help on the
chef-dev [3] list.

Wow. Thanks for knowing that. I would have never deduced it.

Thanks I'll give that a go.
