Can't create encrypted data bags in recipes.

I don't believe this AMI is published by the Chef project or by Opscode. Have you filed a bug with RightScale?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. I'm not clear on how this is related to RightScale. The gist I referenced is from Joshua Timberman, and the Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem provider is from the Opscode documentation. I figured that Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem would function the same as Chef::DataBagItem. If I'm barking up the wrong tree, please let me know, but this all looks to be very Opscode derived.

Thanks.

Ugh, commented on the wrong ticket I'm a moran.

Anyway, while I'm here, can you post the code you're running and the error you get?

The code that's failing:

ruby_block "create host keys data bag" do
block do
encrypted_databag_item = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.new( "hostkeys", "#{node[:client]}" )
encrypted_databag_item.raw_data = { "id" => "#{node[:client]}", "foo" => "bar" }
encrypted_databag_item.save
Chef::Log.info "Created host key data bag for #{node[:client]}."
end
end

The error:

NoMethodError: ruby_block[create host keys data bag] (hostkeys::default line 24) had an error: undefined method `raw_data=' for #<Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem:0x403ebd0>

Line 24 is the beginning of the Ruby Block

I see from the comments in chef/lib/chef/encrytped_data_bag_item.rb that this is currently read only. It would be great to have read/write abilities with EncryptedDataBagItem, as with DataBagItem.
