require 'chef/knife'

module SomeNamespace
  class NodeSetEnvironment < Chef::Knife

    deps do
      require 'chef/search/query'
      require 'chef/knife/search'
    end

    banner "knife node set_environment NODE ENVIRONMENT"

    def run
      unless @node_name = name_args[0]
        ui.error "You need to specify a node"
        exit 1
      end

      unless @environment = name_args[1]
        ui.error "You need to specify an environment"
        exit 1
      end

      puts "Looking for #{@node_name}"

      searcher = Chef::Search::Query.new
      result = searcher.search(:node, "name:#{@node_name}")

      knife_search = Chef::Knife::Search.new
      node = result.first.first
      if node.nil?
        puts "Could not find a node named #{@node_name}"
        exit 1
      end

      puts "Setting environment to #{@environment}"
      node.chef_environment(@environment)
      node.save

      knife_search = Chef::Knife::Search.new
      knife_search.name_args = ['node', "name:#{@node_name}"]
      knife_search.run

    end
  end
end

The above plugin fails with chef 11.0.0 on the last step of searching for and displaying the node info due to missing config[:rows] and config[:start] parameters in /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-11.0.0/lib/chef/knife/search.rb

Apparently they are nil, any idea how to pass default values in?

@dulyanov

  knife_search.config[:start] = 0
  knife_search.config[:rows] = 1

See my clone at https://gist.github.com/bknowles/7572785 that includes these changes. Thanks!
