[chef] Re: how to override cookbook attribute in a machine resource? yes I tried attribute field

[Christine Draper < >]

Hi,

Try this...

machine "my_example_machine" do

  recipe "cccis-inbound::inbound_admin_machine"

  attribute ['cccis-dir-library', 'hostname'],  node['cccis-interfaces-inbound']['admin_servers'][0]['hostname']

  machine_options machine_options1

end

The first parameter to 'attribute' is either a single top-level name, or an array containing the path to the attribute.

Regards,

Christine

(yes I know about the attribute field in machine resource ) 

this does NOT work :

machine "my_example_machine" do

  recipe "cccis-inbound::inbound_admin_machine"

  attribute "node['cccis-dir-library']['hostname']",node['cccis-interfaces-inbound']['admin_servers'][0]['hostname']

  machine_options machine_options1

end

I know how to pass a variable for example I can pass:

      attribute "stack",1

and it will be available with node["stack"]
