Thanks for the article!
I attempted to add a helper method to convert the options before passing, still no luck. I’d really like to stay away from setting these values to hashes.
def mutable_arrray(attribute)
attribute.map { |value| value }
end
I’m surprised this behavior doesn’t come up more often when using built in resources (i.e. path attribute for execute resource).

Attribute Sample:
node[‘servers’][‘main’][‘external_addresses’] = %w { 33.33.33.33 }
Recipe Context:
node[’servers'].each do |name, options|
server name do
external_addresses options['external_addresses']
end
end
Then, if I update that attribute value to, say %w{ 33.33.33.30 }, the resource loads with both addresses.

I’m working with a custom HWRP, and I have an attribute of type Array.
The definition is below, and the issue I’m trying to trouble shoot is that if I update the value of my array, instead of resetting the array, they new values are appended to the array.
def external_addresses(arg = nil)
set_or_return(:external_addresses, arg, :kind_of => Array)
end
Thanks for any feedback,
Curtis
