Local path names should work fine as URLs for the recipe bundle argument--we do this all the time (albeit with an old version of Chef).

However, I think chef-solo expects the tarball you give it to have a directory structure of the form

    cookbooks/
       |---- cbname1/
       |       |--attributes/ ... etc
       ...
       |---- cbname2/
       |       |--attributes/
       ...

In other words, if your resolver-0.82.tar.gz just extracts into a single directory resolver/, or even dumps the metadata.rb, attributes/, recipes/ etc entries into the current directory, you need to make a new tarball which has that cookbook within a toplevel cookbooks/ directory, with cookbooks/resolver/ under that.

See the Rakefile task for bundling cookbooks for details...

That doesn't look like a URL to me.

From the wiki page you cited: "-r, --recipe-url RECIPE_URL"
