Role attributes are not getting propogated as expected

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi,

I’m setting few default attributes as part of the role as defined in the below
json

{
“name”: “web1”,
“default_attributes”: {
“webmanager”: {
“steps”: {
“setup_ldap”: true
},
“features”: {
“WindowsServicess”: “”,
“Core”: “(All)”,
“Gui”: “FeatureWebSite”,
}
}
},
“run_list”: [
“recipe[custom-web]”
]
}

When I try to access it as part of recipe as mentioned below it’s not obtaining
the proper value from the role attributes as expected. It’s just getting null
values.

feature[:WindowsServices] =
""#{node[:webmanager][:features][:WindowsServices]}"“
feature[:Core] = “”#{node[:webmanager][:features][:Core]}”“
feature[:Gui] = “”#{node[:webmanager][:features][:Gui]}”"

When I check it using chef-shell it’s showing proper values for those
attributes. It’s also getting displayed properly when I check it using knife node show <nodename> -l or knife node show <nodename> -a webmanager. Only
problem is it’s not getting set properly during converge phase of chef-client
execution.

Thanks

Not sure if this is just a typo in the email or actually in your code,
but you have two s's in WindowsServices(s) in the role.

Hi Sheppy,

That was a typo. Even other two attributes Core & Gui are not getting defined properly.

Thanks,
