I have put cookbook "dss" in a role definition and put the role in the
node run list. "dss" depends on "pylabs" (via metadata) and in
"pylabs" I have a library defining an additional type of script
resource:

-- START --
require 'chef/resource/script'

class Chef
  class Resource
    class QShell < Chef::Resource::Script

      def initialize(name, run_context=nil)
        super
        @resource_name = :pylabs_qshell
        @interpreter = "/opt/qbase3/qshell -f"
      end

    end
  end
end
-- END --

All required files are in my client cache, but still I get a
NoMethodError on "pylabs_qshell", which is the @resource_name.

What am I missing here?
