config not working

[danhiris]

When I declare templates for the config, I get a no implicit conversion of Symbol into String error.

There appears to be something weird with this but I can't quite pinpoint the issue:

  conf[:templates].each do |template, file|
    tp = template "#{conf[:path]}/#{::File.basename(template).chomp(::File.extname(template))}" do

• logstash_config[logfile0] action create

  ================================================================================ Error executing action create on resource 'logstash_config[logfile0]'

  TypeError

  no implicit conversion of Symbol into String

I resolved it by changing the logfile symbol to a string so instead of setting the key of the templates hash like this: templates( logfile: 'logfiletemplate.erb' ) I'm setting it like this: templates( 'logfile' => 'logfiletemplate.erb' )
