[chef] invoking chef-shell with a run_list

Should the following chef-shell invocation populate run_list with something
other than an empty array?

What am I trying to do? I'm just trying to get to know chef-shell and try to 
use
it to debug recipes.


jazzbutcher$ chef-shell -v
Chef: 11.6.2

jazzbutcher$ cat ~/.chef/chef_shell_fu.json
{
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[hoosier::default]",
    "recipe[quick_start::default]"
  ]
}

jazzbutcher$ chef-shell -z -j ~/.chef/chef_shell_fu.json
loading configuration: /Users/kallen/.chef/chef_shell.rb
Session type: client
Loading....resolving cookbooks for run list: []
.Synchronizing Cookbooks:
done.

This is the chef-shell.
 Chef Version: 11.6.2

run `help' for help, `exit' or ^D to quit.
