Thanks Daniel,

What i am trying to achieve is set an array of strings as an attribute or variable inside the ruby block and then use it outside in various chef resource,

How do i do that ? please advise.

Thanks

Sorry for asking it , but i am stuck again , looks like i am not able to read the variable i got from ruby_block

i am not sure what's wrong :

ruby_block "acc-deploy-host" do

block do

Chef::Log.info " host name is #{node['hostname']} "

host=node['hostname']

puts " hostname is #{host}"

File.open("/local_app/account-rest.properties", "r").each_line do |line|

Chef::Log.info "#{host} Account Rest line: #{line}"

  if line.include?(host)

    Chef::Log.info "Found host #{host} in #{line}"

    deploy = line.split(':').last

    deploy = deploy.gsub(/\n/," ")

    node.set['account_deploy']=deploy

    Chef::Log.info "Found account value #{node['account_deploy']}"

end

end

end

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

puts #x

end

end

An important thing to keep in mind about Ruby blocks is that it may or may not be executed at a different time than the surrounding code. In this case, Chef holds on to the code you pass into `block do` so it can evaluate it during the converge phase of the chef run. The surrounding code is executed immediately.
