Chef solo with berkshelf: cookbook not resolved - vagrant

Question

I've created this Vagrantfile's provioner section:
config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
chef.add_recipe "wildfly"
end
I'm getting this error:
==> default: Error Resolving Cookbooks for Run List:
==> default:
==> default: Missing Cookbooks:
==> default: ------------------
==> default: No such cookbook: wildfly
So, I've created a Berksfile and a metadata.rb files:
Berksfile:
source 'https://supermarket.chef.io'
metadata
metadata.rb:
name 'webapi'
maintainer 'The Authors'
maintainer_email 'you#example.com'
license 'all_rights'
description 'Installs/Configures webapi'
long_description 'Installs/Configures webapi'
version '0.1.0'
depends 'java_se', '~> 9.0.1'
depends 'wildfly', '~> 0.4.0'
So, then I've performed berks install command. The first issue I've detected is that I don't quite detect where berks has placed cookbooks. It seems that it works right, nevertheless, I don't find where cookbooks dependencies are located, I mean, a .\cookbooks folder is not created after performing berks install command.

Regardless of that, I've performed vagrant provision again, and wildfly cookbook is not resolved:

You either need to use the vagrant-berkshelf plugin, or use the berks vendor command to write all the cookbooks to a folder and then point Vagrant at that (which is what the plugin does internally). berks install only downloads them to your workstation, it doesn't put the cookbooks in a place/format that anything other than Berkshelf understands.
