[chef] using a template in a provider fails, because it looks for the template in the wrapper ! whats the solution ?

[Medya < >]

I have made a resource that has a "template" resource that creates a file. 

this is in my provider's action :create 

  #Create silent.xml file out of the template

  template "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/silent.xml" do

    source 'silent.xml.erb'

    owner new_resource.user

    group new_resource.group

    mode '0755'

  end

I use this resource in another cookbook and it fails because it is trying find the template's .ERB file in the wrapper cookbook which is using the resource...

what is the proper solution for this problem? should I use File resource instead of template?

the error I get is :
