@host variable does not work in if-statement

Support
1

On a provisioning template the following does not work:

<% if @host.architecture == 'x86_64' -%>
foo
<% end -%>

Where the following prints: x86_64

<%= @host.architecture %>

What am I doing wrong here ?

Use: if @host.architecture.to_s == 'x86_64'

Yes I found that finally and also .name is possible instead of .to_s.

Why is this ?

@host.architecture is an object (a model) which is not directly equal to
a string ("x86_64"). .name or .to_s return the string containing the
name of the architecture.
