[chef] Wrapper Cookbook Attribute Overwrite Question

["David A. Williams" < >]

Hello,

Chef 11.2.4

I'm setting up a wrapper cookbook to overwrite some node attributes.  However 
it appears when that attribute is a hash it runs both configs.  Has anyone 
experienced this?

For example in my base cookbook, I have
attributes/default.rb
default['operations']['tomcat_instances']  = {:Dev  => { :port => '80', 
:sites => %w[Dev] }}

And in my wrapper cookbook, I have
recipes/raven_server.rb
node.set['operations']['tomcat_instances'] = {:QA=> { :port => '80', :sites 
=> %w[Master Staging] }}

After the chef run.  I have two Tomcat instances set up instead of just one.

Thanks for your help,

David Williams
