Chef allows making custom resources through LWRPs. A “LightWeight Resource
and Provider” inherits the name of the cookbook that defines it. So when
you see a resource not included in the Chef framework and it’s name is
“hostsfile_entry”, that means a cookbook called “hostsfile” has a defined
resource called “entry” in hostsfile/resources/entry.rb and a defined
provider in hostsfile/providers/entry.rb.
The LWRP reference should shed more light on this.

Also, there’s this great tutorial:

What hostsfile cookbook are you using? Is it this one?
GitHub - customink-webops/hostsfile: Easily manage your hosts file with Chef
http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/hostsfile
Looking at the code on github, this file should be providing the
hostsfile_entry resource:
https://github.com/customink-webops/hostsfile/blob/master/resources/entry.rbNote that the name of the resource is inferred from the cookbook name plus
an underscore plus the file name so you won’t necessarily see the string
“hostsfile_entry” in the source.
ok you're right this file is included and contains functions. I've finally
made it work with a new fresh repository. where can I find more information
about this naming conventions and how it works ? is it related to ruby (I'm
not yet an experimented ruby coder) ?
thanks
In any case, try running with debug logging (chef-client -ldebug) and
look for a message like "Loading cookbook #{cookbook_name}'s resources from
#{filename}” to confirm that the cookbook is getting loaded.

Hi Cyril,
There’s not enough information to go on. Can you provide some additional
stats? It would help to have: cookbook version for each (I’m guessing
you’re using the community cookbooks named ‘hostname’ and ‘hostsfile’?) as
well as a stacktrace of the chef run (chef-client? chef-solo?) giving you
an error, and which platform you’re running this on.
You can remove any sensitive information from the logs. But the more info
you can provide, the easier it will be to troubleshoot.

Does cookbooks/hostname/metadata.rb contain the line: “depends hostsfile”

Hi,
I've installed cookbook hostname but neither me neither chef could find
the resource hostsfile_entry :

Anyone ?
