wrapper cookbook - node['rabbitmq']['deb_package_url] has not been overrided during execution phase

[chrisduong]

Hi,
In my wrapper cookbook, I define the attribute node['rabbitmq']['version] is '3.5.1' and I included the recipe rabbitmq::default in my cookbook.
However, during execution phase of rabbitmq::default. the node['rabbitmq']['deb_package_url] still see as default - 3.4.4-1

default['rabbitmq']['deb_package_url'] = "https://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-server/v#{node['rabbitmq']['version']}/"

I don't know the purpose of this, why shouldn't we define deb_package_url is a simple variable, not a node's attribute. I believe this issue won't happen.

The only way to fix for my wrapper cookbook is to override the version in Chef Roles or to force with this code

# Hack to make sure node['rabbitmq']['version'] in recipe loaded inside dependency 'rabbitmq' cookbook

node.set['rabbitmq']['version'] = node['rabbitmq']['version']
node.save

Hi,
Sorry for the noise. I haven't wrapped the cookbook correctly.
I should define needed overridden attributes in my wrapper cookbook

This issue was identified again in #457 and resolved in #458. If you're using rabbitmq cookbook 5.3.0 or later, changing the rabbitmq.version attribute will be sufficient to change the version of RabbitMQ that is installed without needing to override additional attributes.
