default['consul']['config']['bag_name'] broke consul_config

[epcim]

Well I am not sure whether I got the full understanding of the resources in this cookbook. Well my issue is actually that 2nd run of converge do not re-write consul.json config with (start_join) option populated by chef search.

To fix that, I decide to use consul_config resource and place consul.config attributes to an "option" option. However it fails. See:

default['consul']['config']['bag_name'] = 'secrets'
default['consul']['config']['bag_item'] = 'consul'

as in default attributes, then following code fails, as bag_name is not proper key for consul cfg.

consul_config '/etc/consul/consul.json' do
  options default['consul']['config']
end

Thanks for any guidance in my problem in advance. I am about to try now:

consul_config '/etc/consul/consul.json' do
  start_join <value from search>
end

I am sorry. I am taking it back. I found an bug in my recipes that was reseting start_join to [] which caused all the troubles.

Then I fully got the point, we filter the node.consul.config in the cosul_config resource on to_json method. So the proper way to populate it is over procedure used in default recipe:

...
node['consul']['config'].each_pair { |k, v| r.send(k, v) }
