### Unexpected value or type

### Categorical visualization not working

**Problem**: The style defines a categorical visualization, but the maps are not showing the layer

**Error messages:**

* Categories required. A `categories` array must be defined in the *config* block when defining a categorical visualization. Read more about categorical visualizations [here](https://developers.felt.com/felt-style-language/types-of-visualizations/categorical-visualizations).
* Not enough or too many `attribute_name` values. When defining a categorical visualization, all style and label properties must be an array with either a single value that will apply to all categories or an array with as many values as categories defined in the config block.
