[chef] Re: Re: newlines not respected in encrypted databags

[Maven User < >]

Hmmm- more history...

Previously, we were specifying the distribution we wanted to use (ubuntu12.04-gems), but the moneta issue broke this for us, so via this mailing list, we solved this by upgrading my cookbooks and taking out the distribution flag to the bootstrap command.

If I specify the bootstrapping version, will that also solve this?

Help me figure out what I've changed that would all of a sudden be causing this pain :-(

Hi all -

Seemingly out of the blue, after not specifying the distribution now during the bootstrap, an encrypted databag who's contents is placed in a file no longer has it's "\n"'s respected.

Is there some change I missed/overlooked?

Again - in the encrypted databag, I have:

"foo \n",

"bar \n"

and I want that spat into a file with each of those values on a separate line, but when this runs, I wind up with one huge line.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like it's possibly related to this?
