Hey,
i have been trying to fix this for almost 30 minutes now , thought i shall
better ask, please looks at the code snippet below, I am not able to
access this simple variable what am i doing wrong ? please advise.
cookbook_file “/local_app/account-rest.properties” do
source "account-rest.properties"
mode 0777
owner "deploy"
group "deploy"
end
ruby_block “acc-deploy-host” do
block do
node.default[“acc-deploy”] = cat /local_app/account-rest.properties | grep -i "#{host}" | cut -d":" -f2
puts "value is #{node[“acc-deploy”]}"
end
action :create
end
*node[:acc_deploy].each do |x| ----- this does not work *
puts #x
end
i changed the code to this ,
still does not work , what is wrong ?
cookbook_file "/local_app/account-rest.properties" do
source "account-rest.properties"
mode 0777
owner "deploy"
group "deploy"
end
ruby_block "acc-deploy-host" do
block do
node.set[:acc-deploy] = cat /local_app/account-rest.properties | grep -i "#{host}" | cut -d":" -f2
puts "value is #{node["acc-deploy"]}"
end
action :create
end
node['acc_deploy'].each do |x|
puts #x
end

In the first case you use a dash node.set[:acc-deploy]
*
In the second case you are using underscore **node['acc_deploy'].each *
*
*
Additionally I would recommend standardizing on symbols vs strings
Hopefully that works.

Try using strings in both node.set['acc-deploy'] and node['acc-deploy']
instead of symbols like :acc-deploy

Dashes are not valid in symbol names unless you quote them. It’s interpreted as :acc - deploy. Just switch to underscores and you’ll be good.

I’m not entirely sure why that isn’t working but it could be due to that the node.set isn’t actually updating the node object until it’s outside of that ruby block. Change the node attribute access to either all strings or all symbols. Normally you can use strings and symbols interchangeably though you should use one consistently:
chef > n.set[:blah] = 'test'
=> "test"
chef > n[:blah]
=> "test"
chef > n['blah']
=> “test"
