The Cookstyle cops department: Chef/Deprecations

Some providers in resources override the provides? method, used to check whether they are a valid provider on the current platform. In Chef Infra Client 13, this will cause an error. Instead use provides :SOME_PROVIDER_NAME to register the provider.

Examples

incorrect

def provides?
 true
end
