[chef] Problems with log stash cookbook and environment attributes

[Cassiano Leal < >]

I’m having trouble using the community logstash cookbook with environment parameters.

When it tries to create shipper.conf it fails here:

Chef::Mixin::Template::TemplateError (comparison of String with Chef::Node::ImmutableMash failed) on line #13:
 
 11:   }
 12:   <% else %>
 13:     <%= LogstashConf.section_to_str(node['logstash']['agent']['inputs']) %>
 14:   <% end -%>
 15: }

The full stack trace and the environment JSON can be found here: https://gist.github.com/cassianoleal/6116305

I have successfully used this cookbook on another environment when setting [:logstash][:agent][:inputs] via node.override in a recipe. What’s wrong with this approach?

Cheers,
