[chef] Getting grouped attributes with node.attribute?

[Christian Fröstl < >]

Hi there,

I try to do a only once command within a chef recipe which looks like the following:

execute "register_spacewalk" do

command "rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=http://spw0002.adm.nubon.com/XMLRPC --activationkey=1-d5ecd39c881c8202fd82f7bc930178be --force"

notifies :create, "ruby_block[register_spacewalk_run_flag]", :immediately

not_if { node.attribute?("register_spacewalk_run_flag") }

end

ruby_block "register_spacewalk_run_flag" do

block do

node.set["register_spacewalk_run_flag"] = true

node.save

end

action :nothing

End

The above command works fine, but I like to group all my spacewalk attribute variables under the group spacewalk. 

For this, i tried to do the following:

execute "register_spacewalk" do

command "rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=http://spw0002.adm.nubon.com/XMLRPC --activationkey=1-d5ecd39c881c8202fd82f7bc930178be --force"

notifies :create, "ruby_block[register_spacewalk_run_flag]", :immediately

not_if { node.attribute?("spacewalk""register_spacewalk_run_flag") }

end

ruby_block "register_spacewalk_run_flag" do

block do

node.set["spacewalk"]["register_spacewalk_run_flag"] = true

node.save

end

action :nothing

End

The node.set command works well, but I cannot do the node.attribute? Method on this attribute. I tried it with many different syntax like („spacewalk:register_spacewalk_run_flag“)  or („spacewalk register_spacewalk_run_flag“)  or (["spacewalk“]["register_spacewalk_run_flag"])  or  ("[spacewalk]“"[register_spacewalk_run_flag]“)

Do you have any idea how to solve the problem?

Thank you very much.

Greetings,

Kasimir
