Description

I'm trying to write a test to see if a node has an empty run list. It looked like such a test would be as simple as this:

shef -z -c /etc/chef/client.rb <<<"if node.run_list.empty? then exit 1 end"

However, here's what actually happens:

# shef -z -c /etc/chef/client.rb <<<"if node.run_list.empty? then exit 1 end"
loading configuration: /etc/chef/client.rb
Session type: client
Loading......[2012-06-15T18:34:14+00:00] INFO: Run List is []
[2012-06-15T18:34:14+00:00] INFO: Run List expands to []
.[2012-06-15T18:34:15+00:00] INFO: Loading cookbooks []
done.

This is shef, the Chef shell.
 Chef Version: 0.10.10

run `help' for help, `exit' or ^D to quit.

chef > if node.run_list.empty? then exit 1 end
# echo $?
0

It looks like irb has the same behavior, so if shef is piggybacking on irb, then irb code is likely at fault.
