I'm using Chef 11 (opensource server) and chef-client 11 also. I'm trying to search the nodes with a specific role. Using knife I am able to get the results I wish using:
knife search node "run_list:role\[cassandra\]". Also I'm able to search using search(:node, "run_list:role\\[cassandra\\]") inside the recipe. But if I try to access the role using an attribute I cannot get it working. I have tried the most obvious way search(:node, "run_list:role\\[#{node[:role][:cassandra]}\\]") and also trying to compose the query outside the search line (query = 'run_list:role\[' + node[:cassandra][:seed_role]) but I get the same error. I'm getting error 500 during Chef-client compile phase (I think). Here it is the part of the code I'm using and the output log.
# Searching for Cassandra nodes inside the same Chef environment
cassandra_seeds = []
cassandra_nodes_macs = []
query = 'run_list:role\[' + node[:cassandra][:seed_role] + '\] AND chef_environment:#{node.chef_environment}'
log query
search(:node, query).each do |n|
# search(:node, "run_list:role\\[cassandra\\] AND \
# chef_environment:#{node.chef_environment}").each do |n|
# search(:node, "roles:*#{node[:cassandra][:seed_role]} AND \
# chef_environment:#{node.chef_environment}").each do |n|
cassandra_seeds << n[:fqdn] unless n[:fqdn] == node[:fqdn]
end

Thanks
After comment I played with chef-shell (to try search in the same context as a recipe)
Valid syntax I found to work (no quote around role name):
search(:node, 'run_list:role\[mysql-server-wso2\] AND chef_environment:I1')search(:node, "run_list:role\\[mysql-server-wso2\\] AND chef_environment:I1")The double quote way sounds easiest for variable interpolation. Exemple with your case:
query = "run_list:role\\[#{node[:cassandra][:seed_role]}\\] AND chef_environment:#{node.chef_environment}"
You may ensure it is properly interpolated by adding a log line just after like this:
Chef::Log.info "Query is: #{query}"
Old Answer: I don't know why you set this in single quotes, but its likely your problem:
query = 'run_list:role\[' + node[:cassandra][:seed_role] + '\] AND chef_environment:#{node.chef_environment}'
Being in single quote, #{node.chef_environment} is not substitued and is sent to chef server as is, which the server can't resolv properly and fail with a 500 error.
Written like this the query should be ok:
query = "run_list:role['#{node[:cassandra][:seed_role]}'] AND chef_environment:#{node.chef_environment}"
