It will not local jump.  A concrete example from our internal cookbooks, if you want to have a recipe that is safe to include in the run_list on windows boxes, but which NOPs the recipe you can do this:

return if platform_family?("windows")

# stuff that works on linux and would make windows uphappy...

not sure if return will work, you might get a local jump error, since the recipes are instance_evaled.

you should do this on top level recipe or wrapper recipes, i.e check for the condition, and include_recipe accordingly., i.e.

# in parent recipe cookbook::parent

if node.foo.bar

    include_recipe 'cookbook::child'

end

Hi

Thanks a lot. And to completely exit out of the chef run, "raise" would be the way to go. Possibly with a Chef::Log message before.

Thanks a lot,
Alexander

Hi,

Doh.

I will correct myself - not interrupt the client run, but rather
return from the recipe without progressing further.
