Cookbook fails on Linux instance with Chef-Client 13.8.5

[chefbob]

An error is thrown when trying to use the cookbook with Chef-Client 13.8.5, "ERROR: Cannot find a resource for windows_package on redhat version 7.4". It does not seem to honor the only_if platform windows directive.

   107:  # Install for Windows
   108>> windows_package 'awsagent' do
   109:    source node[:inspector][:win_installer_url]
   110:    installer_type :custom
   111:    options '-silent'
   112:    only_if { platform?('windows') }
   113:  end

This does not happen with the latest 14.x version. I'll see if there is a way to fix this.

Strange. It shouldn't attempt to install a Windows package on Linux. And that too with a guard function! I'll have to read up a little.

It is very strange. I changed the code to wrap the windows specific code in if statements. I tested it for both windows and Linux on 13.8.5 and the 14.0.202. I also updated bumped the version to 0.3.0 and updated the docs to reflect it supports windows 2008 r2 and up. I'll submit a pull request..

I submitted a pull request. Would you be able to review and accept it?

@eternaltyro Any chance you can look at this?

@eternaltyro I noticed this was never merged. Any chance you can merge this or are you no longer maintaining this code?

[eternaltyro]

This was merged. Thank you for the changes and apologies for the delay in my response.
