[chef] Re: ruby_block that sets/alters attributes

[Alex Soto < >]

try node[:blah][:whatever] = 'bleck'  I do that in recipes though never tried 
it in a block.

Maybe try @node if node is undefined.

FYI, A trick I use while developing recipes:

I use chef-solo on the node I'm developing on with ruby-debug installed

Then I set breakpoints in the recipes so I can inspect variables, etc to see 
why things aren't working as expected.
