[chef] shef question

[Phil Dibowitz < >]

Hey all,

Shef is pretty awesome for interactively developing a new recipe/cookbook...

But since shef -z loads up my full runlist, I'm a little confused by the fact
that 'run_chef' doesn't then do a run of my full runlist from the server.

It claims to load all the cookbooks and shows me a full runlist, but if I then
do 'cookbooks.all' I get an array of nils which is ... weird.

Am I missing something here? It'd be really useful to have my entire set
runlist, be able to add a breakpoint somewhere (something like "recipe
foo::default; template "/etc/blabla" do; breakpoint; end; run_chef" where
"foo::default" is an existing and loaded recipe, and /etc/blabla is a template
created by it. I feel like that functionality is already there but I haven't
figured out how to do it yet.

Any pointers would be helpful, thanks.
