this is a ruby issue, you need to escape \ 

to debug this, you could try to log the script

Why is happening in chef?

If I run the below command line in the shell...the replace works  sed -i 's/^\(127\)/#\1/' /etc/hosts

I use chef it does not work.  Kinda shocked.  Why is chef having a problem with line of code?

bash "comment_hostname" do
  user "root"
  code <<-EOH
    sed -i 's/^\(127\)/#\1/' /etc/hosts
  EOH
  action :run
  not_if {File.exists?("#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/hostname_test")}
end
