Unless you stated an error there,  you problem is here, a role is something aside the cookbook, not within. It's part of the runlist. I'm not comfortable to give links from phone, try a search on http://docs.chef.io for the node runlist, roles and cookbook and feel free to ping the list back with details of your cookbook and what you did ;)
