Chef default nginx recipe - TypeError cant convert symbol to integer

I am following the peepcode chef tutorial. I created the following nginx default.rb file - 

package "nginx"

service "nginx" do
    supports :status => true, :restart => true, :reload => true
    action[ :enable, :start]
end

template "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf" do
    notifies :reload, "service[nginx]"
end

I run chef-solo -j /etc/chef/node.json and I get the following error - 

TypeError
---------
can't convert Symbol into Integer


Cookbook Trace:
---------------
  /cookbooks/nginx/recipes/default.rb:5:in `[]'
  /cookbooks/nginx/recipes/default.rb:5:in `block in from_file'
  /cookbooks/nginx/recipes/default.rb:3:in `from_file'


Relevant File Content:
----------------------
/cookbooks/nginx/recipes/default.rb:

  1:  package "nginx"
  2:
  3:  service "nginx" do
  4:      supports :status => true, :restart => true, :reload => true
  5>>     action[ :enable, :start]
  6:  end
  7:
  8:  template "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf" do
  9:      notifies :reload, "service[nginx]"
 10:  end
 11:

I think the tutorial uses chef 10, but I have installed chef 11. Is there some simple syntax error that I'm missing or has it changed from v10 to v11?

Some more info -

This is my runlist file - -

{
    "run_list" : ["recipe[nginx]"]
}

and this is the stacktrace I got -

I couldn't access the peepcode tutorial but if you have created this nginx cookbook yourself then it seems you may simply need a space in between action and [:enable, :start] in the line specified in the error. (Nginx default recipe line 5) See http://docs.opscode.com/resource_service.html#examples
