[chef] Re: Re: node.run_state

["John Warren" < >]

Thanks for the reply.  The apparent lack of documentation of node.run_state 
is a bit troubling: the link below is the first Google hit when I search for 
"chef node run_state".  Is there any documentation that discusses 
node.run_state in depth, the way node attributes are discussed, for instance 
here: https://docs.getchef.com/chef_overview_attributes.html ?  You have me 
convinced that node.run_state is kosher, but the people who review my code 
and have already -1'd it (citing the reference below) may not be as easily 
swayed.  Having official documentation that refutes the erroneous heading in 
the referenced official release notes would be most helpful in making my 
case that my code (at least as far as the use of node.run_state goes) is up 
to spec.

Thanks,

John

I think the heading is just wrong. node.run_state is still used (and
we teach it in Chef Intermediate :-) )
