A resource property (or attribute) cannot be marked as a name_property (or name_attribute) and also have a default value. The name property is a special property that is derived from the name of the resource block in and thus always has a value passed to the resource. For example if you define my_resource 'foo' in recipe, then the name property of my_resource will automatically be set to foo. Setting a property to be both a name_property and have a default value will cause Chef Infra Client failures in 13.0 and later releases.
