Reproduction steps

Actual results:

Expected results:
The server should be started and the runlist applied.

Workaround:
Edit the node in Opscode platform
Take the incorrect item off the runlist
Add the roles you want.
Login to the server and run sudo chef-client

If I try a run list of:
"role[app-server]"

Then Opscode platform will show simply:
roles

Hi there, there are two problems here.

First, "node[app-server]" isn't a valid run list item. You probably meant "role[app-server]".

Second, the run list item parsing regex is too lenient with the characters it accepts, so you end up with bizzare results when you give an invalid run list item. This issue is already reported as CHEF-1398

HTH,
Dan

Hi,
Granted, node[app-server] is wrong. However, "role[app-server]" appears to be completely correct to my eyes. I do have a role called app-server.
If it helps, I'm running this through the Git Bash shell in Windows. Perhaps it's interpreting the quotes?
