[chef] mixliv command run_command executed at compile time ?

[Cyril Scetbon < >]

Hi,

When the command used in the Mixlib::ShellOut.new does not exist, chef exits 
with a compilation error

================================================================================
Recipe Compile Error in /tmp/cookbooks/hadoop/recipes/default.rb
================================================================================


Errno::ENOENT
-------------
No such file or directory - echo2 ok


In the following example it should start and exists as it should not find 
package whois2

include_recipe "apt"

package "whois2" do
  action :install
end

cmd = Mixlib::ShellOut.new("echo2 ok")
cmd.run_command

However, it exists with :

If I replace "echo2" by "echo" it exits with the expected error.

I suppose it's not an expected behaviour ? FYI, I used chef-solo 11.8.2
