updating one of the sites data_bags

[retrodans]

Sorry if this is a bit of a beginner question, but I have got vagrant working as I expect it to, with a few of my own .json files in the data_bags/sites folder. One issue I have come across it that when I come to modify these files, I cannot get it to honor these changes in the box if it has already been build. I have tried both vagrant provision and vagrant reload --provision with no luck.

The only thing that has worked is vagrant destroy followed by a vagrant up (or just ssh'ing into the box, and manually making the changes). Have I missed something, as believed that a provision would rerun the chef scripts and update the paths accordingly. Some example changes are:

• adding/removing sites files
• altering the docroot path

Thanks for any help you can give on this, as not sure if this is my understanding of vagrant, or an issue with the setup.

Adding a data_bag should work fine, as long as you let the box provision again (e.g. reload --provision). Updating might well be an issue, I know indeed from personal experience that vhost configurations are not removed when data_bags are no longer present. This is probably something in the recipe that handles the databags, maybe it should just empty and rebuild the sites-available and sites-enabled directories. Personally, it doesn't bother me much, I rarely need to remove or update a databag. If you do need to make changes often, I wonder what the use case is.
