Unable to use properties in manifest

[rkoster]

When running bosh deploy with the following manifest (showing problematic part):

  - name: sslproxy
    release: sslproxy
    template:
      - sslproxy
    instances: 2
    resource_pool: infrastructure
    networks:
      - name: default
        default: [dns, gateway]
      - name: floating
        static_ips:
          - 192.0.2.1
          - 192.0.2.2
    properties:
      sslproxy:
        https:
          ssl_key: |
            <%= property("ssl_key") %>
          ssl_cert: |
            <%= property("ssl_crt") %>

I get the following error: undefined method 'property' for main:Object (NoMethodError)

I'm using BOSH 1.5.0.pre.859

I think you want the "p" method?

[rkoster]

I found the reference to the property method here use p does not help. ssl_cert: <%= p("ssl_cert") %> gives: 'p': Insecure operation 'p' at level 4

[xoebus]

Are you using bosh diff to merge a deployment stub and a deployment template? If so, then you should use the #find function as shown here. BOSH does allow ERB directly in the manifest but it only gives the TOP_LEVEL_BINDING binding to the template (for any simple work). Your deployment manifest should be plain YAML most of the time.

I'm trying to use it without bosh diff. As described here
