Puppet users - May 2012 - issue with custom types and providers

So I''m trying to follow the example in the Pro Puppet book and
I''m running
into the issue where "resource" variable is not defined. Looking at
the
code for packages, I did something similar but it doesnt work either. 

    newparam(:type) do
      desc "Deprecated form of `provider`."

      munge do |value|
        warning "''type'' is deprecated; use
''provider'' instead"
        @resource[:provider] = value

        @resource[:provider]
      end
    end

Here is the error I am getting.
*info: Retrieving plugin

                isnamevar
        end
        newproperty(:provider) do
                resource[:provider] = :gem
        end
        newparam(:url) do
                desc "Url for repo"
        end
        newparam(:enable) do
                desc "Whether repo is enabled or not"
        end
end

This is with puppet 2.6 and one minor difference was in my code I tried 
both newparam and newproperty to see if it was potentially just a simple 
mistake.
