[chef] Include Gloabl Variables

[WEINHAPL Andreas < >]

HI,

 

I know that there are many ways to include global attributes into a new cookbook. But is there a way to create a global_attributes file (there are lots of information and dependencies in there)  which will be included into a new cookbook.

 

I think the sentences makes no sense at all (if I read it a second time) but I will explain it:

 

Attribute file (stands alone with no recipe and so on)

(code, ok not the real code J )

If platform = debian -> x = 23 else 24

 

And this information should be inserted in a file which I created with the cookbook “Whats_the_answer”

(coe, not the real one)

Create file to /tmp/blubb with information “x”

 

The Problem is that I only want to use 1 attributes file where all the information is stored.

 

I tested it with the “include recipes”-method bnut this doesn’t work for attributes, too.

 

Kind regards
