Hi guys,

i am experiencing failure when running rspec unit tests. i noticed it’s complaining about the attribute #{password} in my tests. please see my code below.

password = ChefVault::Item.load('123', '456')[node['hostname']]

  execute 'install' do

     command "./wsadmin.sh -lang jython -f deployment.py -username wasserver -password **#{password}** instructions/$env/$inst cell=$cell node=$node"
  end

i would appreciate your help

Thanks,
