[chef] Where does the new line symbol is ?

[Vladimir Skubriev < >]

I have this code:

pasver = `/usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger`.sub 
/.*\((.*)\).*/, '\1'.chomp

if ! 
::File.exists?("/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['redmine']['rubyversion']}/gems/passenger-#{pasver.chomp!}/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so") 
then

    bash "build_and_install_passenger_module_for_apache" do
    user "root"
    code <<-EOH
                source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['redmine']['rubyversion']}/bin/passenger-install-apache2-module 
-a
    EOH
    end
end

And a problem is that 
"/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['redmine']['rubyversion']}/gems/passenger-#{pasver.chomp!}/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so" 
if a two lines string variable

Why this happens ?

I have second use case in other (erb) file:

<% pasver = `/usr/local/rvm/bin/gem list | grep passenger`.sub 
/.*\((.*)\).*/, '\1'.chomp %>
PassengerRoot <%= 
"/usr/local/rvm/gems/#{node['redmine']['rubyversion']}/gems/passenger-#{pasver.chomp!}" 
%>
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/<%= 
node['redmine']['rubyversion']%>/ruby

This file generates:

LoadModule passenger_module 
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.19
/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so


Why ?
