[chef] Re: Really? What am I missing?

Mark,

As a chef n00b I get lots of these. The attribute you are referencing doesn't 
exist and so node[:sgbase] which is nil doesn't have a method [:branch]. 
Hence the slightly confusing error.

So I get this error:

NoMethodError

undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass


Which comes from this line:

627>>   revision node[:sgbase][:branch]

Called by a recipe in a file that does this:

"cookbook_versions": {
"cpan": "= 1.0.0",
"apt": "= 1.0.0",
"sgbase": "= 1.0.0",
"branch": "= 1.0.0"
     ...


sgbase and branch ARE defined - why the NULL error?
