Using a template in a provider fails, because it looks for the template in the wrapper ! whats the solution?

I have made a resource that has a “template” resource that creates a file.

this is in my provider’s action :create
#Create silent.xml file out of the template
template “#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/silent.xml” do
source 'silent.xml.erb’
owner new_resource.user
group new_resource.group
mode '0755’
end

I use this resource in another cookbook and it fails because it is trying
find the template’s .ERB file in the wrapper cookbook which is using the
resource…

what is the proper solution for this problem? should I use File resource
instead of template?

the error I get is :

You can add the name of the cookbook to the template resource:

cookbook "cccis-weblogic"

Your template resource in your provider.

template "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/silent.xml" do
cookbook "cccis-weblogic"
source 'silent.xml.erb'
owner new_resource.user
