When using the 11.6 chef-solo client on Solaris x86, it appears that partials

with node attribute references no longer work. The same templates and partials

worked fine when using 11.4.

When I replace the node attribute references with references to passed

variables, the partials work fine.

Has anyone encountered this issue?

Please file a bug report.

In any case, this error message occurs because the instance variable is nil. Adding `:node => @node` to the variables you pass in should work around it.
