[chef] Chef solo and ulimit cookbook (inside redisio cookbook)

[Greg Pendler < >]

Ohai,

I'm experiencing a weird issue when ulimit recipe is called twice and the second time around it's running in "wrong" context without seeing the attributes defined in the JSON file:

This is my JSON:

  "redisio": {

    "ulimit": false,

    "servers": [

      {"port": 10000 },

      {"port": 10001 },

      {"port": 10002 },

      {"port": 10003 },

      {"port": 10004 },

      {"port": 10005 }

    ],

    "version": "2.8.9"

},

    "ulimit": {

    "users": {

      "redis": {

        "filehandle_limit": 5121,

        "process_limit": 122944,

        "stack_limit": 10240,

        "memory_limit": 65535

      }

    }

  }

This is what happening....
