Description

Rather than requiring a JSON file be created and passed with -j, it would be nice to have a -r / --run-list to pass the run list as a command-line option. Functionally this would be similar to using a -j JSON file with contents like:

{ "run_list": [...] }

`chef-solo -r` is `chef-solo --recipe-url`. It could be possible to make -r also accept recipe filename. Not a full run-list, but I shouldbe enough for 90% of use cases.

CHEF-2988 added --override-runlist to chef-client and chef-solo, which allows you to specify a run list on the command line.

This run list is not permanent for chef-client, but I believe that is the correct behavior. The node's run lists should not be managed locally, but rather on the server. This allows a one-off.
