[chef] Re: Attribute Precedence in recipe level

[AJ Christensen < >]

What precedence level is node['wordpress']['dir'] being set at?

Post chef11, we'd use 'node.set' for something like this, or 'set' in
the attributes.

In the recipe, you can use 'node.debug_value(:wordpress, :dir)' to see
more diagnostic information.

Cheers,

AJ
