Documentation error

Cookbook version

latest

Chef-client version

Scenario:

Trying to include it

Steps to Reproduce:

in the doc , it says to add depend 'slack' instead 'chef_slack'
also should be include_recipe 'chef_slack'

Document not proper

Document not follow resource Custom Resource Usage and also notifies.

Please use following:

chef_slack_notify "Say Summat!"

chef_slack_notify "send_notification_message" do
  message "This is a notification message"
  webhook_url 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXX/XXXXXXX/XXXXXX'

  action :nothing
end

something "talk_as_test_user_to_multiple_channels" do
  notifies :notify, "chef_slack_notify[channel_nothing]", :immediately

This is because your cookbook name is chef_slack and you only have one action ie, notify
