[chef] param[:name] bizarreness when nesting defines

[Charles Duffy < >]

Okay, y'all, here's an odd one:

I have my local runit recipe patched to configure svlogd-emitted log files as sources for remote logging. The obvious implementation is such:

  logged_file "#{sv_dir_name}/log/main/current" do

    tag "sv-#{params[:name]}"

  end

However, when doing so, the tag gets instantiated as "sv-"

If, however, I do the following:

  sv_name = params[:name]

  logged_file "#{sv_dir_name}/log/main/current" do

    tag "sv-#{sv_name}"

  end

all works properly.

WTF?!
