Chef template variables syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting keyword_end

For my following recipe:

    template '/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml' do
      source 'filebeat.yml.erb'
      owner 'root'
      group 'root'
      mode '0600'
      variables(
            stack_name: stack_name, 
            instance_ip: instance_ip
            )
    end

I am getting following error:

    Chef::Mixin::Template::TemplateError
    ------------------------------------
    (erubis):74: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting keyword_end

    recipe_name "filebeat"
    owner "root"
    group "root"
    mode "0600"
    path "/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml"

end

What am I doing wrong?

I think the error is in your template file, e.g. filebeat.yml.erb

The reason for my assumption is based on (erubis):74: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting keyword_end - erubis is a fast eRuby-compatible template engine ("erb") used by chef. So the error origins from parsing/rendering the template file, not a chef specific issue.
