[chef] Re: Re: Re: Iterating over attributes in a template

[AJ Christensen < >]

Try turning it into a hash (node.foo.bar.to_hash) in your recipe where the template context is evaluated.

I haven't had any issue doing this without the .to_hash call.. You can just use 'node' inside templates, too, I believe, which'll let you work around.

Thanks AJ but I tried that first...  I went to yielding to a single
value after the message said it wasn't a hash like structure.  Any
other thoughts?
