ruby_block "acc-deploy-host" do

block do

host=`hostname -s`

node.set[:acc_deploy] = `cat /local_app/account-rest.properties | grep -i "#{host}" | cut -d":" -f2 `

puts "value is #{node['acc_deploy']}"

end

end

node['acc_deploy'].each do |x|

puts #x

end

/var/chef/cache/cookbooks/base_tomcat/recipes/default.new.rb:

Dashes are not valid in symbol names unless you quote them. It’s interpreted as `:acc - deploy`. Just switch to underscores and you’ll be good.
