[chef] Re: Re: Ohai Plugins Available when evaluating attributes.rb?

[Douglas Garstang < >]

That's not the behaviour I saw. I was putting a 'puts' in the attributes/default.rb file and doing a chef-client run. Stuff set from core ohai was showing up. Stuff set from custom ohai plugins was not. The stuff from custom ohai plugins is available in recipes though.

yes, if its a ohai plugins it will be evaluated in the node build stage, which happens before cookbook compilation,

Is the data returned from custom ohai plugins going to be available when evaluating stuff in attributes.rb? I have a plugin which tells me if I am running inside an EC2 VPC. I'd like to use that in my attributes.rb with some 'when' logic to set some attributes. Yes? No?
