Could you post the bash resource that is causing this problem?

Errors such as this is one of the reasons that Dan reworked much of the
attribute code for Chef 11 [0].  The typical solution is to coerce the
attribute into a well-known type using #to_s, #to_hash, or similar
methods which are easier to use elsewhere.

Cheers,
