Documentation shows six * and it should be five

[zayter]

right now it follows this way https://crontab.guru/ but documentation is different

Tested on Rails 6+

[palexvs]

I guess it should be 6 *:

1. seconds
2. minutes
3. hours
4. day
5. month
6. day week

regular crontab (5 *) + 1 * for seconds

You can use fugit gem to test the notations, it's used behind the scenes by rufus

[1] pry(main)> Fugit.parse('0 * * * * *')
=> #<Fugit::Cron:0x0000000139d6de38 @cron_s=nil, @hours=nil, @minutes=nil, @monthdays=nil, @months=nil, @original="0 * * * * *", @seconds=[0], @timezone=nil, @weekdays=nil, @zone=nil>

For my case it was confirmed, that 5 symbols should be used for cron expressions in sidekiq.yml.
We needed to perform job every Monday at 12:00

1. According to documentation (6 symbols):

Fugit.parse('0 12 * * 1 *')
=> #<Fugit::Cron:0x00000001100139c8
 @cron_s=nil,
 @day_and=nil,
 @hours=nil, # wrong
 @minutes=[12],
 @monthdays=nil,
 @months=[1],
 @original="0 12 * * 1 *",
 @seconds=[0],
 @timezone=nil,
 @weekdays=nil,
 @zone=nil>

1. Pattern with 5 symbols (correct):

Fugit.parse('0 12 * * 1')
=> #<Fugit::Cron:0x0000000115e9f780
 @cron_s=nil,
 @day_and=nil,
 @hours=[12],
 @minutes=[0],
 @monthdays=nil,
 @months=nil,
 @original="0 12 * * 1",
 @seconds=[0],
 @timezone=nil,
 @weekdays=[[1]],
 @zone=nil>
