Chef diff trying to use native endpoints in compatability mode

[tyler-ball]

I successfully uploaded my local policyfile (in compatablity mode) with chef push one. Then I modified the Policyfile.rb, updated the lock and uploaded it again with chef push two. Running chef diff one...two raises the following errors:

Error: No policyfile lock named 'tyler_demo' found in policy_group 'one' at https://api.chef.io/organizations/tyler2
Reason: (Net::HTTPServerException) HTTP 404 Not Found: 404 - Not Found: Sorry, I can't find what you are looking for.

This is the bug I'm filing for the issue that my policyfile was successfully uploaded twice, but the diff command fails to find the groups. It fails in the same way if I run chef diff one and try to diff the local lock to the one policy group.

Enabling debug output, it looks like it is trying to use the native API even though I have compatibility mode enabled.

--- REQUEST DATA ----
GET /organizations/tyler2/policy_groups/one/policies/tyler_demo

Closing as wont-fix. Diffing is only supported on native endpoints.

I've run into the similar issue, with the same output. But the reason was the fact that I haven't specified organization name in chef_server_url directive in knife.rb.

It was:

chef_server_url          "https://chef.example.com/"

But it should be:

chef_server_url          "https://chef.example.com/organizations/my_org_name"

I hope it will help somebody :)

P.s. However, all other endpoints (nodes, cookbooks) worked fine without organization mentioning. Only policy-related queries failed.
