Libraries loaded twice?

Chef Infra (archive)
1

I was under the impression that:

  • libraries are only loaded once, when the cookbook is evaluated
  • each cookbook is evaluated only once

however, i recently ran into a problem where my library code was running
twice because:

  • my cookbook was both included in a role’s run_list
  • a different cookbook in that run list explicitly depended on that cookbook

this is using chef-solo 11.4.0. is this a bug in chef? or am i missing
something?

I think this is caused by a bug that was fixed in 11.6 or 11.8.
