[chef] Wrapper cookbooks and attribute logic

[Bryan Baugher < >]

Hi everyone,

We have recently started using wrapper cookbooks which generally just set some default attributes. We are running into issues where cookbooks we are consuming are attempting to do some kind of logic in their attributes file based on these attribute values. We run into problems when these cookbooks load their attribute files first before our wrapper cookbooks can apply their defaults.

Has anyone run into this problem? Any ideas?
