I tried to help a bit on irc but I don't think we ever resolved it, so
I'll try to help here. (And for the record, if someone thinks there's
a thread on the user list that I haven't responded to yet and should,
feel free to send me a direct note.)
I've only ever seen this when the resource somehow doesn't have a
provider. For better or worse, the 'provider' method uses the
resource as the provider if no provider is actually available:
def provider
@resource.provider || @resource
end
I think that's a design bug, but it works that way right now.
I'd guess your resource isn't finding the provider -- is it stored at
'provider/$type/$provider.rb'?
