Through create_resources, Name and WorkingDir are being passed to your
defined type as parameters. Your defined type though, does not accept
parameters. something like this:
define app::virtualApps($Name, $WorkingDir) {
should work, though you'll also have to work out case, as it seems you're
using lower case in your template and upper in your YAML. The YAML, defined
type parameters and template should all match, variable name-wise.
