Is the Berksfile or/and the Berksfile.lock included in the chefignore file?

How did you try to upload the cookbook?
More informations are required to help you.

Thanks for your response .

My workstation is windows .I'm trying with berks to upload the cookbook from powershell ..Before that i have used below Command used in powershell :

berks install (Usage : Install the cookbooks specified in the Berksfile) .

Berksfile and Berksfile.lock included in the chefignore file auomatically .

I got the solution for this.
All you need to do is to generate the cookbook using --berks or -b, it will create a Berksfile while generating the cookbook for you.
Syntax will look like:- chef generate cookbook --berks
