[chef] Re: having problems getting jenkins cookbook to do anything

[Mike < >]

I think we might have discussed this on IRC briefly.

I think the problem is conceptual - you don't need to modify the recipe's metadata.rb - you need to modify your node's run_list to include the recipes you want.

I tried to find an example on learnchef.com for how to do that, but couldn't find that distinct idea represented.
