Why am I unable to pass the cookbook as an instance variable to a library class ?

Within a cookbook the variable "cookbook_name" should contain its own name.

This won’t be true in library files, they are evaluated with Ruby’s `load` function so they don’t have the same contextual stuff that recipes do.

The best you can do here is look at `__FILE__` and infer the cookbook name from the file path.

I am trying to pass the cookbook name to the logger via a library  and have not been able to figure out how to pull that attribute, does anyone know how a cookbook calls its self in the form of an attribute ?
