I have created a template in chef, sending the value from attributes and recipes but getting error :

[2015-12-09T08:09:19-05:00] ERROR: Running exception handlers
[2015-12-09T08:09:19-05:00] ERROR: Exception handlers complete

[2015-12-09T08:09:19-05:00] FATAL: Chef::Exceptions::ChildConvergeError: Chef run process exited unsuccessfully (exit code 1)

How to resolve the error:

I have defined the attribute as :

default['abc']['LOG_FILE']=''

and in recipe it is 

variables(


    :LOG_FILE => default['abc']['LOG_FILE'],

Your syntax is wrong, you need to use node instead of default when referencing attributes:

variables(


    :LOG_FILE => node['abc']['LOG_FILE'],

  • This is right but you will get a linting error for ruby 2.0 + The new syntax is: `LOG_FILE: node['abd']['LOG_FILE']` – Nick H. Dec 09 '15 at 22:00
