chef windows_batch NoMethodErrror

gistfile1.txt

chef version:  11.12.8-2 on windows 
-----------------------------------

I get a NoMethodError saying windows_batch does not exist even though "depends 'windows'" is in my metadata.rb (see below). Only using windows_batch because the windows_zipfile came up with the same error. Weirdly windows_package works fine.
