[chef-dev] Chef Client, version 11.8.2: Fatal error loading LWRP when cookbook name contains hyphen

[Dave Urschatz < >]

Hi All.
I am having a problem in Chef Client, version 11.8.2 that sound similar to:
CHEF-2454: Fatal error loading LWRP when cookbook name contains hyphen

I've attached the bootstrap output below with LWRP cookbook named
"my_common-cookbook".

Note: This error goes away if "my_common-cookbook" is changed to
"my_common_cookbook".  

Unfortunately it's significant work to change the cookbook name at this point
in a project.

What are the steps to get hyphens supported in Chef Client, version 11.8.2 and
beyond?

Best Regards,
Dave
