Chef Infra Client 16 and later a legacy HWRP resource must use provides to define how the resource is called in recipes or other resources. To maintain compatibility with Chef Infra Client < 16 use both resource_name and provides.

correct when Chef Infra Client < 15 (but compatible with 16+ as well)

class Chef class Resource class UlimitRule < Chef::Resource resource_name :ulimit_rule provides :ulimit_rule

    property :type, [Symbol, String], required: true
    property :item, [Symbol, String], required: true

    # additional resource code
  end
end

end

correct when Chef Infra Client 16+

class Chef class Resource class UlimitRule < Chef::Resource provides :ulimit_rule

    property :type, [Symbol, String], required: true
    property :item, [Symbol, String], required: true

    # additional resource code
  end
end

end
