Hello,
The wiki says:
“Any libraries you include in a Cookbook
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Cookbooks will automatically be
required, and available within all your Recipes
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Recipes, Attribute Files
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Attributes and Definitions
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Definitions.”
Is there a way to make a library global so that it’s available to all
cookbooks?

Two ways.
{ "run_list": [ "recipe[your_library_cookbook]" ] }
That will cause it to be downloaded, and its libraries loaded on the node.
depends "your_library_cookbook"
In metadata.rb of another cookbook where you want to use the library.

Thanks, Josh!
So because everything is converged when a client runs on a node, a
library is automatically available to any cookbook in the whole node.
Great, good to know!
I think I'll just create a "libraries" cookbook and modify the metadata
to include as needed. It's kinda like having my own lib directory, in a way.

Two ways.
- Include the cookbook in the run list of the node, or a role on the node. It doesn't have to do anything - the default.rb can be blank. E.g.,
{ "run_list": [ "recipe[your_library_cookbook]" ] }
That will cause it to be downloaded, and its libraries loaded on the node.
- Put the cookbook in the metadata of any cookbooks you want to use the library in. E.g.,
depends "your_library_cookbook"
In metadata.rb of another cookbook where you want to use the library.

I have put cookbook "dss" in a role definition and put the role in the
node run list. "dss" depends on "pylabs" (via metadata) and in
"pylabs" I have a library defining an additional type of script
resource:
-- START --
require 'chef/resource/script'
class Chef
class Resource
class QShell < Chef::Resource::Script
def initialize(name, run_context=nil)
super
@resource_name = :pylabs_qshell
@interpreter = "/opt/qbase3/qshell -f"
end
end
end
end
-- END --
All required files are in my client cache, but still I get a
NoMethodError on "pylabs_qshell", which is the @resource_name.

Resources are looked up by finding a constant defined on
Chef::Resource matching the CamelCased name of the method you called,
so calling pylabs_qshell causes chef to look for
Chef::Resource::PylabsQshell. I'm not sure what the resource_name is
used for, but it doesn't manipulate the way the method names map to
resource classes.

I now passed the Resource problem, but the following error is that no
provider could be found that matches it:

I didn't create a provider, as my resource inherits from the Script
resource. As far as I can see, my script resource is similar to the
Python and Bash script resource that have a specific provider neither.
Why is this happening? I am really struggling to make progress here!

After re-reading the wiki, I found out that the mapping is handled in
Chef::Platform. In my library file, I added the following line:
Chef::Platform::platforms[:default][:pylabs_qshell] = Chef::Provider::Script
Don't know if this is the proper way to do it, but it seems to work.
My script seems to launch (except for errors in the script itself now
).

You can also set the @platform variable on your resource, and it will be used.

resource_name is used for lookup and stringification of resources:
@resource_name = :pylabs_qshell
Means you can do:
resources(:pylabs_qshell => "foo")

Actually, it's the@providervariable, and you set it to the name of
the provider class.
