Title: Message Title

Greg Larkin created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6214 Confusing error message displayed when using incorrect value with scheduled_task resource Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: DSL Created: 2016/04/21 11:13 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Greg Larkin I recently used a scheduled_task resource and coded the trigger section incorrectly like so: scheduled_task { 'defrag C': ensure => present, enabled => true, command => 'C:\windows\system32\defrag.exe', arguments => 'C:', trigger => { schedule => 'weekly', start_time => '01:00', start_time => '01:00', day_of_week => 'Sun', } } The documentation specifies that values of "day_of_week" should be a lowercased string, but when the "Sun" value was used, Puppet emitted the somewhat confusing error message: Cannot convert "nil" to Fixnum Can the error message be improved to refer to the incorrect value somehow to make it easier to find the problem and fix it?
