Adding notifies to line 17 of resource.rb creates the error above.

@cyberswat. Did you ever solve this problem. I'm experiencing a similar one.

@gitmlynch I was having the same problem. My issue was that I was calling notifies outside of a resource block.

Bad:

template "/etc/nginx/sites-available/#{app.fetch("name")}" do
    source 'nginx.conf.erb'
end
notifies :reload, 'service[nginx]', :delayed

Good:

template "/etc/nginx/sites-available/#{app.fetch("name")}" do
    source 'nginx.conf.erb'
    notifies :reload, 'service[nginx]', :delayed
end
