[chef] Attributes not getting set from wrapper cookbook

[millisami r < >]

Ohai! Chefs!

Having issues with the attribute while developing wrapper cookbook to deploy the app cookbook.

Following are the 2 cookbooks to explain the problem.

=================================

app-cookbook

  - attributes

    default['asm']['user'] = "vagrant"

  - recipes

    - default.rb

    user node['asm']['user'] do

      password node['asm']['password']

      home "/home/#{node['asm']['user']}"

    end

---------------------------------

app-wrapper-cookbook

  - recipes

    - default.rb

    include_recipe "app-cookbook::default"

    node.set['asm']['user'] = 'otheruser'

=================================

When I run the `app-wrapper-cookbook`, the attribute set in wrapper cookbook `node.set['asm']['user'] = 'otheruser'` doesn't take effect. 

Instead it reads the value `vagrant`.

It should have been `otheruser` ?

How to solve this attribute precedence while building the wrapper cookbook ?
