[chef] Re: Re: Chef Shell Attributes

[Angus Buchanan < >]

Thanks,

node.default_attrs etc gives the same result.  I see automatic attributes, as expected, but I don't see default attributes that should have been loaded as part of the yum cookbook:

default['yum']['cachedir'] = '/var/cache/yum'

For example.

It's as if running:

include_recipe "yum"

Doesn't load the attributes.

You might want to look at:

node.attributes

instead. Switching into attributes_mode is not necessary to do that.

node.methods will give you a list of all methods you can call on node. You might be interested in things like node.automatic_attrs, node.default_attrs, …

Hope this helps.
