Yeah I’ll try to put one together. Now that I think about it we’re on 11.6.0 but I started using that workaround/haven’t tested since 10.16.

Is anyone aware of a way to load libraries from another cookbook without requiring a recipe from it? A depends statement isn't enough in metadata.rb to make them available in my experience. I usually just dump an empty recipe in the cookbook containing the library I want to use. Is this expected / designed behavior or should I fix it?

`depends` ought to do it. If it didn’t then you couldn’t `include_recipe` from another cookbook and all sorts of things wouldn’t be working. Can you come up with a reproduction case that demonstrates the behavior you’re seeing?
