You likely have a cookbook

Is it possible to specify attribute values in Chef Solo's JSON? I have a solo.json with a run list and I would like to specify the attributes there. The Chef documentation seems to indicate it should be possible for me to do something like: { "hostname": { "test": "value2" }, "default_attributes": { "hostname": { "test": "value3" } }, "override_attributes": { "hostname": { "test": "value4" } }, "default": { "hostname": { "test": "value5" } }, "run_list": [ "recipe[hostname::default]" ] } However, whenever I try to access the value in my recipe: p node['hostname']['test'] I just get the value
