Calling an array within an array for Chef Attributes

Vote count: 0

I'm trying to get a Chef recipe built for a series of Registry_keys. They are all being hosted within the chef attributes default.rb. I'm trying to call the defined attribute and create_if_missing each key.

Examples of the code are as follows.

Chef attribute\default.rb

default['randomhost']['registry']['entries'] = [{ 'Key' => 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RandomApplication', 'Values' => [{ name: 'RandomValueName', type: :qword, data: 1 }, { name: 'RandomValueName2', type: :qword, data: 2}] }]

Chef Recipe\registryKey.rb

 node['randomhost']['registry']['entries'].each do |item|
  registry_key item['Key'] do
    values item['Values']
    recursive true
    action :create_if_missing # Default
  end
end

When I go to build this out, calling the item['Values'] claims that 'Bad key name in RegistryKey values hash'. I'm not entirely sure why this is as name:, type:, and data: are all symbols in the attributes array.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,
