Quoting of strings inside default_attributes, in a role JSON #156

Closed kallekoo closed 11 years ago

kallekoo commented 11 years ago

Hello!

I have a role.json which specifies in its default_attributes some IP addresses for a Riak app.config:

... "default_attributes": { "riak": { "config": { "riak_api": { "pb_ip": "127.0.0.1" } } ...

This "pb_ip" finds its way successfully into the app.config of this riak recipe, but the problem is that the string is single-quoted, when Erlang wants double-quoted strings in this app.config file.

Is there way to specify which quoting is preferred?

From what you say I gather you would want '127.0.0.1' to appear in the app.config file?

Are you using the community cookbook? That cookbook uses a helper library to build the erlang strings, so I would start looking there:

default['riak']['config']['riak_api']['pb_ip'] = "#{node['ipaddress']}".to_erl_string

Ahh I completely missed that. Thanks!

p.s. littlechef is great. It strikes just the right balance between automation and deployment administration, or the lack of, for the projects I manage.
