Templates - Location Specificity - Not working

Hey All,

I’ve just had the need to choose a template based on node[:fqdn]

According to http://docs.opscode.com/essentials_cookbook_templates_location_specificity.html it should work.

However during the chef-client run it does not seem to look for host- directories.

OS is oracle linux 5.x
Chef-client is version 10.26.0

Here is a sample of the error

Chef::Exceptions::FileNotFound

Cookbook ‘mycookbook’ (0.1.0) does not contain a file at any of these locations:
templates/oracle-5.5/hosts.erb
templates/oracle/hosts.erb
templates/default/hosts.erb

It should be looking for:
templates/host-myhost.domain.com/hosts.erb

Anyone have any thoughts
