[chef] Re: Help with Chef::CookbookLoader for 0.7.16

Ohai!
Hard to say without seeing more of your code, but my first guess is
that you need to setup Chef::Config and make sure the :cookbook_path
config option is set.

If you're just doing `require 'chef'` you should get Chef::Config
loaded so you could just do Chef::Config[:cookbook_path] =
'/your/cookbook/path' before running CookbookLoader#load_cookbooks.
