Convert ruby attributes to json?

I need to define a role with knife role edit

And I cannot convert attributes from Readme.md in
https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm/tree/master

I need to define:

default[‘rvm’][‘user_installs’] = [
{ ‘user’ => ‘www-data’,
‘default_ruby’ => “2.0.0p247”,
‘global_gems’ => [
{ ‘name’ => ‘rake’ },
{ ‘name’ => ‘bundler’,},
{ ‘name’ => ‘json’ },
{ ‘name’ => ‘mysql2’ },
{ ‘name’ => ‘libxml-ruby’ },
{ ‘name’ => ‘passenger’, ‘version’ => “4.0.20” }
]
},
]

In json format I create this:

“override_attributes”: {
“rvm”: {
“user_installs”: {
“user”: “www-data”,
“default_ruby”: “2.0.0p247”,
“global_gems”: [
{
“name”: “rake”
},
{
“name”: “bundler”
},
{
“name”: “json”
},
{
“name”: “mysql2”
},t
{
“name”: “libxml-ruby”
},
{
“version”: “4.0.20”,
“name”: “passenger”
}
]
}
}
},

But I recive an error in chef-client run:

Attribute to_ary is not defined!

/var/chef/cache/cookbooks/chef-rvm/recipes/user_install.rb:

27:

30: installer_url = rvm_user[‘installer_url’] ||

31: rvm_prefix = rvm_user[‘home’] ||
32: "#{node[‘rvm’][‘user_home_root’]}/#{rvm_user[‘user’]}"
33: rvm_gem_options = rvm_user[‘rvm_gem_options’] ||
node[‘rvm’][‘rvm_gem_options’]

How to describe it?

Looks like you might be missing a set of square brackets. I’m not familiar
with the cookbook, but the ruby you posted has
default['rvm']['user_installs'] set to an array of hashes. So I think you
want:

"override_attributes": {
"rvm": {
"user_installs": [{
"user": "www-data",
"default_ruby": "2.0.0p247",
"global_gems": [
{
"name": "rake"
},
{
"name": "bundler"
},
{
"name": "json"
},
{
"name": "mysql2"
},
{
"name": "libxml-ruby"
},
{
"version": "4.0.20",
"name": "passenger"
}
]
}]
}
}

Note the square brace on the third and third-from-last line.

Also, if you fire up irb, and require ‘json’ you can just call .to_json on
many ruby objects which might help in your conversion.
