Chef not reading parameters hash

🗣️ Foreword

Thank for taking the time to fill this bug report fully. Without it we may not be able to fix the bug, and the issue may be closed without resolution.

👻 Brief Description

I have declared parameters as hash as shown below, after the chef ran these parameters are not reflected in the varnish config.

  parameters = { 'thread_pool_min' => '5',
     'thread_pool_max' => '5000',
     'thread_pool_timeout' => '300' }

Tried the following definition which updated the varnish config but chef lint resulted in an error

  parameters ({ 'thread_pool_min' => '5',
     'thread_pool_max' => '5000',
     'thread_pool_timeout' => '300' })

Lint error:

recipes/varnishinstall.rb:22:13: W: Lint/ParenthesesAsGroupedExpression: (...) interpreted as grouped expression.
  parameters ({
            ^
