chef client using policyfile : could not find recipe default for cookbook

I am using chef open source version 13.6.4 and get stuck on a problem I can't solve with Policyfile. I created one simple Policyfile based on the simplest possible cookbook given below (cookbooks\test_prospero\default.rb)

root_install_path = 'e:\\prospero'.freeze
node_fqdn = node['fqdn'].to_s.downcase
Chef::Log.info "Detected node : #{node_fqdn}"

The Policyfile.rb is:

name "test_prospero"
default_source :chef_repo, '../'
run_list "test_prospero::default"
cookbook "test_prospero"

I installed the policyfile with the following result:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.192]
(c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

c:\chef-data\chef-repo\policies>chef install

Lockfile written to c:/chef-data/chef-repo/policies/Policyfile.lock.json

And pushed it on the server:

c:\chef-data\chef-repo\policies>chef show-policy

Once run on one already bootstrapped node with the following configuration client.rb:

policy_document_native_api true
current_version = Gem::Version.new(Chef::VERSION)

  puts("!" * 80)
  puts(<<-MESSAGE)

end

Running chef-client on dos prompt I got following error:

I tried various default_source configurations, and also run it with chef zero using the export, without problems, read the doc and others sites (for instance YoloVer) and no one seems to have had the same situation.

The same cookbook running without using policyfile does not produce any error!

Have you any clue or solution to this problem? Many thanks for your help.

Recipes have to be in a recipes/ subfolder within the cookbook, so cookbooks\test_prospero\recipes\default.rb.
