Problem using receipe ufw

Hi All im trying to use the ufw receipe.
https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/ufw/versions/3.1.0

I create a role "pabx"
i thne created a databag called firewall, inside the data bag i have a file called pabx.json

Contents below ip address changed for security

{
"id": "pabx",
"rules": [
{"http": {
"port": "80",
"action" : "deny"
}}
,
{"block http from 192.168.1.0/24": {
"port": "80",
"source": "192.168.1.0/24",
"action": "deny"
}}
,
{"Allow access to tcp 80 from 122.122.122.3" : {
"protocol" : "tcp",
"port" : "80",
"source" : "122.122.122.3",
"dest_port" : "80"
}}
,
{"ssh": {
"port": "22"
}}
,
{"nrpe": {
"port": "5666"
}}
,
{"mysql": {
"port": "3306"
}}
,
{"sip": {
"port": "5060,5061"
}}
,
{"ssh": {
"port": "22"
}}
,
{"Allow access to tcp 5038 from122.122.122.3" : {
"port" : "5038",
"source" : "122.122.122.3",
"dest_port" : "5038"
}}
,
{"Allow access to tcp 5038 from 122.122.0.0/16" : {
"port" : "5038",
"source" : "122.122.0.0/16",
"dest_port" : "5038"
}}
]
}

Then i added the ufw::databag receipe to the role.

When i run chef-client i now get this error
