There is a hash on the node object you can use for per-run state info.

It is not persisted to the server. To access it:

node.run_state[:my_key] = "my value"

how can i link run_state attributes to mysql cookbook attributes ?

example:

node.run_state['mysql']['server_root_password'] = item['password']

then it is not persisted to the server ?

`node.run_state` is a separate field in the node object that is not included in the serialized json. You can see for yourself by printing `node.to_json`.

 

Who can access to node attributes on the server? In previous message i

suggested that only node, which run their recipes.

All node attributes are publicly readable by all other nodes via search.

 

Then why i must use node.run_state ?

The run_state field is generally useful for storing any data that you only need to keep for the duration of the chef run.

 

is i am right ?
