When using properties in a custom resource you shouldn’t set a property to required and then provide a default value. If a property is required the user will always pass in a value and the default will never be used. In Chef Infra Client 13+ this became an error.
Examples
incorrect
property :bob, String, required: true, default: 'foo'
correct
property :bob, String, required: true
