[chef] Re: Re: Merge of attributes "looping"

[Tensibai < >]

Found something about it (which hopefully solves my direct problem)

In my recipe I was passing variables { var => node["var"] } to the template.

It seems the mess appeared at this moment, using node attributes directly inside the template instead of converting to a var did solve my "nesting" problem.

No one to help me about it ?

Forgot to say: chef server and client are in version 10.16.2-1

This nesting loop is quite annoying as it ends up that I can't edit node with webui and that I found incorrect entries in templates.

One more thing I don't understand: I'm not saving attributes within my recipe, so I can't see why it does "set" attributes on node.

Hi there,

I'm facing something strange and not understanding what's going on.

I've attributes in cookbook, role and environment, when running the node attributes ends up with a "loop"where attributes are child in loop where they should not.

Here https://gist.github.com/4118081 is the gist of my env, role, cookbook attribute file and what a knife node edit looks like after a run.

Each run adds levels to the "loop".

I'm not setting attributes within my recipes and I can't pinpoint where the problem resides.

I've tried to set env and role attributes in override instead of default with the same behavior.

If someone can help me :)
