[chef] Re: Re: search and order of results

[Joshua Miller < >]

I love ridding public transportation as is give me a mental break and go duh ... .sort

  template "/etc/perlbal/perlbal.conf" do
    source "perlbal.conf.erb"
    mode 0440
    owner "root"
    group "root"
    variables(
      :WEBSERVER_ROLE_host => WEBSERVER_ROLE_host.sort,
      :APACHE_ROLE_host => APACHE_ROLE_host.sort
    )
    backup 1
    notifies :restart, resources(:service => "perlbal")
  end

Search order is inconsistent, is there a way to deal with it?  I really would not care except every time chef runs it restarts perbal which is a issue.

search(:node, "role:WEBSERVER_ROLE") do |n|
   WEBSERVER_ROLE_host << n['ipaddress']
 end

My Template:

CREATE POOL app_pool
<% @WEBSERVER_ROLE_host.each do |n| -%>
 POOL app_pool ADD <%= n %>:80
<% end -%>

You could do something like WEBSERVER_ROLE_host.sort.each in the template to ensure that the array is sorted before you iterate over it.
