Yeah,

try
puts "-------------------------------------"
puts "#{node.chef_environment"

otherwise it will be in your log if you use Chef::Log.info for example.

log "#{node.environment}"
log "#{node.chef_environment}"

 20:  log "#{node.environment}"
 21:  log "#{node.chef_environment}"

Hi,

try node.chef_environment.

Look into Chef::Log; you may want to leave a lot of debug messages in even once this is resolved.

Also, that monitor_server executes every time (during the compilation phase) even if location isn't set in the above if block. Where does the db hash come from?

Hi,

I am gettng the below error.  I need to debug.


I should have values in the json object: monitor_server = db[node.environment][location]['monitor']['ip_address']

How do I print to the scren  values so i can see why chef is not working.  undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass is useless for me.  Is it because of location? because of node.environment?

I would to print to screen e.g, print node.environment
