Original issue reported via github https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_chef/issues/4 by Raboo

I don't know if the errors are supposed to be logged or ignored in foreman when there is a ignore_failure true in the resource.

as an example this code:

execute "use_openjdk7" do
  command "update-java-alternatives -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64" 
  ignore_failure true
  returns 2
  not_if "update-alternatives --display java 2>&1 | grep currently | grep java-7-openjdk" 
end

produces following error in chef client log:

[Thu, 13 Feb 2014 09:50:30 +0100] ERROR: execute[use_openjdk7] (java7::make_default line 1) had an error: Expected process to exit with [2], but received '0'
---- Begin output of update-java-alternatives -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 ----
STDOUT:

---- End output of update-java-alternatives -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 ----
Ran update-java-alternatives -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 returned 0; ignore_failure is set, continuing

and in foreman it's blank:

It's the same behavior with chef 11 and chef 10 clients.

also same behavior when reports_log_level "debug".
The funny thing is that it doesn't even display that resource as being run..
