[chef-dev] Re: Chef run_status for individual cookbooks

[Noah Kantrowitz < >]

The divisions between cookbooks and/or recipes don’t really exist once all 
the resources are loaded. There is just a list of resource objects in the 
collection and Chef converges them in order. You could try to 
reverse-engineer the information you are looking for since each resource does 
track what recipe it was defined in, but this isn’t directly available.
