Chef Infra Client 12.5 introduced the resource_name method for resources. Many cookbooks used respond_to?(:resource_name) to provide backwards compatibility with older chef-client releases. This backwards compatibility is no longer necessary.

Examples

resource_name :foo if respond_to?(:resource_name)
