[chef] Re: Can chef parse the attribute list and handle it while creating templates

definitely you can do that. can you share the recipe where you are passing the variables in the template / defining the templates.

Hi All,


I have an attribute which I must pass as list and update it in the template
file But it seems the attributes are taken as literal string during chef-run.
Is there a way to pass a list and handle it in templates  ?



default['zabbix']['agent']['servers_active'] = "hostname"


default['zabbix']['agent']['servers_active'] = "[ "hostname1", "hostname2" ]"

Template where this list need to
ServerActive=<%= node.zabbix.agent.server_active %>
Desired Output
ServerActive=hostname1,hostname2

thanks for your response in advance!
