chef win_friendly_path bug

There appears to be a bug where win_friendly_path doesn't change the path.

default.rb

default['iis']['log_dir'] = 'F:\\LogFiles'

recipe

::Chef::Recipe.send(:include, Windows::Helper)

Cookbook Dependency Problem

Nomatter what I put in my berksfile and metadata file of cookbookB, berks can not fetch the dependencies.

I don't understand why. cookbook-b is a wrapper cookbook for cookbook-a. I've been able to make other wrapper cookbooks, but those were for all cookbooks available on the supermarket. I suspect that berks won't look on github for dependencies?

cd cookbook-b
rm Berksfile.lock
berks install
