Chef metadata.rb dependency needs to depend on itself - ruby

Question

I am getting a foodcritic error when I try to include a recipie within the default.rb for the apache cookbook lesson:
#
# Cookbook:: apache
# Recipe:: default
#
# Copyright:: 2017, The Authors, All Rights Reserved.
# Install apached package
package 'apache2' do
package_name 'httpd'
action :install
end
service 'apache2' do
service_name 'httpd'
action [:start, :enable]
end
include_recipe 'apache::websites'
websites.rb
file 'default www' do
path '/var/ww/html/index.html'
content 'Hello world!'
end
When I run foodcritic on default.rb
FC007: Ensure recipe dependencies are reflected in cookbook metadata:
default.rb:17
When I follow the recomendation and add the dependency in the metadata.rb and run knife cookbook upload apache I get this:
ERROR: RuntimeError: Cookbook depends on itself in cookbook apache, please
remove the this unnecessary self-dependency
Below is my metadeta.rb
name 'apache'
maintainer 'xxxxx'
maintainer_email 'xxxxx'
license 'All Rights Reserved'
description 'Installs/Configures apache'
long_description 'Installs/Configures apache'
version '0.1.1'
chef_version '>= 12.1' if respond_to?(:chef_version)
depends 'apache'

New to chef and ruby, first question on Stack Overflow.
Am I adding the dependency wrong?
Does anything jump out that would cause this issue?

Answer 1

The FC007 activation is wrong. Are you sure you're running foodcritic correctly? Just run foodcritic . on the base of the cookbook folder (i.e. the same place as the metadata.rb is). That should detect the name of the cookbook and not flag the include.
