It's telling you that the way your type's namevar is set up is wrong. At a
guess, Puppet thinks you have a composite namevar. The custom type
documentation <https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_types.html> has
this to say about namevars:
There are three ways to designate a namevar. Every type must have *exactly

(emphasis in the original). Your 'name' parameter meets *two* of those
criteria, so I'd try omitting the 'isnamevar' from its code block to trim
that back to one.
