Converting attributes to ruby hash

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi!

I've been wrestling with this issue ever since we got auto-upgraded to Chef 11,
and I can't find a good solution. How do I recursively convert an attribute
into an ordinary ruby hash? I've posted a better description of the problem on
stack overflow:

I would love any pointers here!

Thanks,
--Igor

Igor,
From your stackoverflow question I would say you are having issues because you are accessing the attributes using dot notation. Try:

config = node['myapp']['config'].to_hash
JSON.parse(config.to_json)
