[Simon Inkin]

Cookbook version

Steps to Reproduce:

Put the 'bootstrap true' in default['chef-server']['configuration'] and run the cookbook

For example:

Actual Result:

The cookbook fails to start with an error:

I've been trying to get this working and it only works without this option set in the config.

There is a note on the readme regarding the attribute, 'This must include newlines for each of the configuration items.' so adding some \n or inserting the line breaks should resolve this.

Hi, sorry, couldn't get back to this earlier.
The new line chars are meant for the .json config definition, I am using the <<-EOS method
Perhaps it would've helped, if I included the config:

default['chef-server'][:configuration] = <<-EOS
bootstrap true
ip_version "ipv4"
notification_email "[e-mail]"
nginx['cache_max_size'] = "3500m"
EOS

Just to be sure, I've tested the following as well and got the same result:
default['chef-server'][:configuration] = "bootstrap true\nip_version \"ipv4\"\nnotification_email \"[e-mail]\"\nnginx['cache_max_size'] = \"3500m\"\n"

If I exclude the 'bootsrap true' flag from the conf, the cookbook works.
