Hi,

  How to prompt in chef attributes  ?

  I need to ask from a user whether they need to keep the default value which i described in attribute file or they need to override with their new value and get and process in that value itself.

  I  used get.chomp in ruby_block
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'rubygems'
ruby_block "Transfer bits" do
  puts node['trans']['host']
  block do
   HOST = node['trans']['host']
   puts HOST
  
  
   puts "User need to override"
   ip1 = gets.chomp
   if ip1 == "y" || ip1 == "Y"
      puts "Enter ur ip"
      ip2 = gets.chomp
      puts ip2
    else
        puts HOST
end
end
end

Like this but it shows:
Errno::ENOENT
