[chef] RE: Re: Custom LWRP Initialise Error

[" " < >]

Hi Julian,
  Resource file is called dlldrop.rb, provider  is the same name.
Cookbook is called AW_DllDrop

I think I was over-complicating it with the current-resource blocks, this 
cookbook is only run in the event of a dll drop needing to be performed so 
idempotence is not that important.
I've trimmed it a bit and got it working, I think my mistake was using 
Chef::Resource::dlldrop when there appears to be no need at all to do that.

I'm working on a similar one to find services and stop them and running into 
the same thing.

Thanks

I assume your custom resource is in a cookbook called "dll" with the filename 
"drop.rb", right?
