Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 2019.7
• Ruby: ?
• Distribution: Linux
• Module version: 2.0.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

cron::job::multiple { 'osbackup':
jobs => [
{
minute => 30,
hour => 23,
weekday => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
user => 'root',
command => '/opt/sndr/tools/osbackup -a -i linux > /var/log/osbackup-linux-cron.log 2>&1',
description => 'Operating system backup Sunday-Friday for Linux',
},
],
}

What are you seeing

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Cron::Job::Multiple[osbackup]:

What behaviour did you expect instead

A weekday value in cron entry:
30 23 * * 0,1,2,3,4,5 /opt/sndr/tools/osbackup -a -i linux > /var/log/osbackup-linux-cron.log 2>&1

Output log

Found work-around and corrected syntax as this module acts differently then the Puppet cron built in type

[James Kirsop]

@sa-github-admin, do you have an example of what you got to work? I'm having trouble getting my head around what the correct syntax is after looking at the documentation and trying a bunch of different combinations that I thought would work.

It'd be real nice if the reference.md or the readme contains some examples of valid syntax beyond the Variant type descriptor.
