how can i search if a node ran recipe “x” in it’s last chef-run? i don’t
care if “x” was directly in the run-list, part of a role that was part of
the run-list, or if it was included in another recipe in the run-list (so a
include_recipe “x” somewhere)
search(:node,"recipes:foo")
note. the attribute recipes
(against which we are searching here) is
populated as per the run list expansion process and stored in the chef
server after a successful chef run. Which means it will not include a
node(including the self node) that has not gone through at least 1
successful chef run.

i tried this and it expands roles but not recipes.
so if recipe y is in the run-list and recipe y has a 'include_recipe "x"',
then search(:node,"recipes:x") does not work

Currently, recipes included via the "include_recipe" directive leave no
"evidence" they were included in the node object unless they were
specifically written to.
As a quick work around, you can put this on the droids you're looking for:
node.set['cookbook_name']['recipe_name']['beacon'] = true
-s

Hi,
I don't have the link with me but the knife-audit plugin includes a snippet
that adds the full set of "seen" recipes as a node attribute. This what we
use to record the recipes run. Also I would highly recommend that you do
NOT record the recipes in normal precedence as they will persist between
runs
