0.9.14 removed #symbolize_keys

So on 0.9.12 this was working fine:

template “/etc/init.d/unicorn-#{app_id}” do
mode 0755
variables app.symbolize_keys.to_hash
source "init-unicorn.erb"
cookbook "application"
end

After upgrading to 0.9.14 however:

/var/cache/chef/cookbooks/application/recipes/unicorn.rb:63:in from_file': undefined methodsymbolize_keys’ for Chef::DataBagItem:0x7f9419a8be98 (NoMethodError)

Thoughts? Should this not have worked in the first place?

-ash

It looks like you were counting on Data Bags to be a Hash, they're now
proper Data Bag objects so you'll need to update your syntax. Chef
0.9.14 fixed it in this ticket:

Data Bag Item defines all of the methods of Hash and forwards them to the raw data object, so you can generally treat it like a Hash. What you're seeing is that #symbolize_keys is a monkey patch from activesupport, which DataBagItem does not implement. If you need to use activesupport's monkey patches, grab raw_data and call those methods on it.

Since we probably weren't loading active_support, could this have been
coming from extlib?

Changing

app.symbolize_keys.to_hash

to

app.to_hash.symbolize_keys

seemed to be the magic that was needed.
