Using chef-shell

Hi,

Following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0B-H3Qo_s4 I have been trying to
use chef-shell to run a local cookbook. After a lot of fiddling I’ve
managed to load a cookbook but chef_run just returns true and doesn’t seem
to do anything.

Can anyone point me to a current guide on using chef-shell to test
recipes?

Thanks
Rob

Sorry for the confusion. Although did write 'chef_run' in my post I had
actually been doing 'run_chef', see below:

chef:recipe > run_chef
=> true
