[chef] Re: Re: Variables in attributes file

[Alex < >]

Carlton,

It's ironic that you replied since I'm trying to generate these attributes to use with the dynect cookbook.

Is it possible to do it in the attributes file?

Set up a ruby_block in a recipe with a node.set, like so:

ruby_block "do something" do
  block do
    bar, baz = # something
    node.set["foo"][bar] = baz
    node.save # only if chef-zero/chef-client
  end
end

That block can subscribe or be notified by other resources. Not sure if it works, at all, with chef solo, but give chef zero a try.
