required attributes in metadata.rb

[jimdowling]

The Cookbook Attribute tab in Angular doesn't separately display "required", "optional", etc.

Can you give me the url of the cookbook that you are using which has separate required and the optional attributes ?

[abhimanyubabbar]

Not yet. Will work on recreating the issue.

Hey I checked by loading the cookbook but found that the cookbook meta data that the core returns to the ui doesn't contain the information about the required attribute.

An extract :

"attributes": [
{
"default": "80",
"name": "ndb/DataMemory"
},
{
"default": "",
"name": "ndb/IndexMemory"
},
{
"default": "64",
"name": "memcached/mem_size"
},
{
"default": "root",
"name": "ndb/user"
},
{
"default": "root",
"name": "ndb/group"
},
{
"default": "true",
"name": "ndb/enabled"
},
{
"default": "/var/lib/mysql-cluster",
"name": "ndb/root_dir"
}

So the required attribute from core is missing for attribute "name": "ndb/DataMemory"

I will have a look at it, thanks.
