I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish. :) Can you give us more of a use case?

Hi Adam,

Are you aware of any built-in way to indicate it has not completed without throwing an exception or otherwise stopping the run?

Thanks,

A non zero exit code does exactly that in Chef. If it is completed, we return 0.

Non-zero exit codes do not necessarily, or do not have to, indicate an error.  

I'm trying to accomplish Chef finishing and indicating it has not fully converged the node.  I apologize if that wasn't clear in my original post.

It should exit with a non zero code if there is an error, what are you trying to accomplish!

Hello,

Is anyone aware of a handler, or a technique in use, for indicating that Chef has not successfully converged the node?

I'm considering writing a custom handler that will check an "unfinished" flag and either kill chef with a custom exit code( :| ) or write something to stdout that I can look for.

Cheers,
