[chef-dev] Re: Mixlib:ShellOut fails with empty status

[Daniel Condomitti < >]

That's referring to its exit status code, not the actual output to
STDOUT. An exit code of zero is succesful. When you run it from the
command line what happens when you run 'echo $?' as the next command?

If the command succeeds you can tell chef what codes are considered to
be successful with the returns attribute. Try adding
  returns: ['']
to your bash resource call.
