grub_config value true causes puppet-lint or augeus errors

[tparkercbn]

grub_config {'GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER':
    value   => true,
}

Error: /Stage[main]/Boot::Grub2/Grub_config[GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER]/ensure: change from 'absent' to 'present' failed: Could not set 'present' on ensure: no implicit conversion of true into String (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/boot/manifests/grub2.pp, line: 32)

@tparkercbn Can you please test this directly with augtool to help pinpoint whether it is a lens issue or a provider issue?

Seems to be a provider issue. augtool doesn't care at all about the quotes. I think the issue is exactly what it says. There is no implicit conversion from Boolean true to String 'true', See augtool test below.

Thanks, that's quite helpful! Looks like we might have to cast everything to a String for the provider.
