Hi everyone,

I have the following HOT template

heat_template_version: 2013-05-23
description: Simple HOT template with dependencies
resources:
  instance1:
    type: OS::Nova::Server
    depends_on: instance2
    properties:
      key_name: default
      image: 80a652ae-5b08-48c8-b069-b4c02c1b24fe
      flavor: singles.1
      user_data_format: RAW
      user_data: 
        str_replace:
          template: |
            #!/bin/bash
            echo "$FOO" > /tmp/message
            exit 0
          params:
            $FOO: { get_attr: [ instance2, networks, private-net ] }
  instance2:
    type: OS::Nova::Server
    properties:
      key_name: default
      image: 80a652ae-5b08-48c8-b069-b4c02c1b24fe
      flavor: singles.1

outputs:
  instance_ip1:
    value: { get_attr: [instance1, networks, private-net] }

When I am trying to launch the stack, I get the following error:

Resource CREATE failed: StackValidationFailed: Property
error : instance1: user_data "str_replace" params must
be strings or numbers

and from http://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/hot_spec.html#str-replace (here) I can conclude that in version 2013-05-23 str_replace does not support replacing between stringes and JSON objects. Is this correct? If this is the case, how can I dynamically inject the IP address of instance2 into the script executed at instance1?

I attach the heat version I am running:
