knife-depgraph

knife-depgraph is a knife plugin to display the dependency information for all the of the cookbooks used by a given node.

As with all knife plugins, just install the gem:

gem install knife-depgraph

If using ChefDK, run chef gem instead of gem.

knife depgraph NODE

Produces output like:

{
  "7-zip": {
    "version": "1.0.2",
    "deps": {
      "windows": ">= 1.2.2"
    }
  },
  "annoyances": {
    "version": "0.1.3",
    "deps": {

    }
  },
  "apache2": {
    "version": "1.0.1",
    "deps": {

    }
  },
  "apt": {
    "version": "2.3.10",
    "deps": {

    }
  },

Capture it to a file with standard shell redirection:

bundle exec knife depgraph NODE > dep_graph.json

Diagnostic messages will be printed to stderr.

knife-depgraph is based on knife-solve by Noah Kantrowitz.
