[chef] how do save list to json in disk

[David Montgomery < >]

Why???  Does not to_json work?

redis_queue = ["queue"]

redis_queue = node['monitor']['redis_queue']
redis_queue=redis_queue.to_json

file "/var/redis_queue_list.json" do
  owner 'root'
  group 'root'
  mode '0666'
  content "#{redis_queue}"
end

This is what he file looks like

["queue"]

Why will my recipe not save in a valid json format?

My python script bombs when trying to read


    raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

thanks
