In-Depth Information
The
hostname of this node is
<
%= node['hostname'] %>
The IP address of this node is <%=
node
[
'ipaddress'
] %>
Perform a
kitchen converge
to apply the cookbook to your node, and then when you run
kitchen login
it should display the following, with the expected values for
node["ipaddress"]
and
node["hostname"]
. (Reminder: Once you have issued these com-
mands and verified the output is correct, make sure you run the
exit
command to get back to
the host prompt directory with your cookbook source.)

NOTE
If the last line with the IP address is missing, even though it is clearly in the

display the last line if it does not have a carriage return in the text.
