Hi,

I have created a class for one of my cookbooks (in the library directory). When

I tested it in a recipe, everything worked fine.

When I wanted to use a method from my object (the already initialized object,

not a new one) in a recipe from a different cookbook, later on in the same run,

the object wasn't available.

Is there any way that I could keep the object state for the whole chef-run? Or

even for the whole execute phase or compile phase?

Thanks!!

The node has a `run_state` hash where you can keep things for the duration of a chef run.

  node.run_state[:my_thing] = some_object
