[chef] Reload node attributes

[Eugene Suchkov < >]

Hi all!

Is there any valid way to reload all node attributes from recipe

I'm running a rather complicated setup and I'm stuck into problem
Two chef-clients are starting at two nodes at the same time. One node
should wait for second one. The second will hang an attribute, which
the first is polling.

Something like this:
 def wait_for n, attrib, timeout=300, timechunk=10
        if n
            sttime=Time.now.to_f
            Chef::Log.info "Starting to wait #{n.name}[:#{attrib}]..."
            until n.attribute?(attrib) do
                if (Time.now.to_f-sttime)>=timeout
                    Chef::Log.error "Timeout exceeded while waiting
for #{n}[:#{attrib}]..."
                    exit 1
                else
                    sleep timechunk
                end
            end
            Chef::Log.info "Got #{n[:name]}[:#{attrib}]..."
        else
            Chef::Log.error "Invalid node!"
            exit 1
        end

    end

The problem is - 'n' doesn't update. Is there a method to read it again?
