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

[Matthias Marschall < >]

I can confirm that issue. Here is what failed for us:

iptables_rule "mysql_internal" do
  variables :mysql_ip => internal_ip(node)
end

It works, if I do it like this:

mysql_ip = internal_ip(node)
iptables_rule "mysql_internal" do
  variables :mysql_ip => mysql_ip
end

Can anyone shed any light on this one? It's an ugly pitfall
