postgis - Error with TileMill and OpenStreetMap Carto project

I have been trying to load the OpenStreetMap carto project in order to export tiles for use on our in house GIS Server. I have followed all the instructions up to loading the osm xml into postGIS and postgresql. I have viewed the data in QGIS and it is working. I downloaded the open-street-map-carto project from github and changed all the configuration files to point to our server. I am at a point where I am unable to view anything in TileMill and I am receiving this error "water-features.mss:159:8 Property text-name required for defining text styles." I am not sure what the issue is and how to fix it.

Here is the code for water-features.mss

Answer

I'm the author of this particular code, but I'm not sure what could cause this.

Do you have the latest Tilemill version?

Maybe you could try using an older openstreetmap-carto version, for example 2.28.0:

https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/releases/tag/v2.28.0

Also, does duplicating the code, like this, help by any chance?

#text-poly {

  text-name: "[name]";
  text-halo-radius: 1;
  text-halo-fill: rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
  text-fill: #222;
  text-size: 10;
  text-face-name: @book-fonts;
  text-placement: interior;
}
#text-line {
  text-name: "[name]";

  text-halo-radius: 1;
  text-halo-fill: rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
  text-fill: #222;
  text-size: 10;
  text-face-name: @book-fonts;
  text-placement: line;
  text-spacing: 400;
}

I can't reproduce this locally, so I'd be happy to know what causes this.
