Method: Chef::Node::Attribute#debug_value

Defined in:
lib/chef/node/attribute.rb

#debug_value(*args) ⇒ Object

Debug what’s going on with an attribute. args is a path spec to the attribute you’re interested in. For example, to debug where the value of node[:network][:default_interface] is coming from, use:

debug_value(:network, :default_interface).

The return value is an Array of Arrays. The Arrays are pairs of ‘[“precedence_level”, value]`, where precedence level is the component, such as role default, normal, etc. and value is the attribute value set at that precedence level. If there is no value at that precedence level, value will be the symbol :not_present.
