I mean when running a chef-client run in whyrun mode is there a way I could specify on the recipe to not consider it when in whyrun mode i.e. Nothing related to that recipe should be displayed in whyrun output.

Thanks,

Your best bet is to use the `--override-runlist` option to chef-client.  Alternatively, you could add checks for `Chef::Config[:why_run]` to your recipe.
