Perfect, thanks John! I’m glad a cleaned up custom resource implementation made it into core Chef.

Cheers,

Jos

You can use "provides" or "resource_name" for that. Just put "resource_name :foo" (if you want to see "foo" in all the output and make "cookbook_filename" not even work) or "provides :foo" (if you want your resource to be addressable by both "foo" and "cookbook_filename").

Congratulations!

Any chance we can name resources explicitly rather than being tied to <cookbook>_<filename>? Like ‘provides :foo’?

Thanks,

Jos

Hey everyone!

We'd like to ship Chef 12.5 and ChefDK 0.9 soon with a slew of new features, and we'd like to get some feedback on them before we go live. 

Read up on the features and download here: https://www.chef.io/blog/chef-12-5-and-chefdk-0-9-prerelease-announcement/

Here's what you can do:

- Try out the new policy and custom resource features on ChefDK 0.9!

- Run the Chef 12.5 client against your cookbooks to make sure the new release works for you!

We've already gone through a ton of testing with this release, but we can't make it great without you :)

Thanks!
