ParseStandard not validating step range

[alyush1n]

Try ParseStandard("*/90 * * * *"). Job will be executed every 1 hour.
Expected some validation error like: step range (90) above maximum (59): 90

Solution available in maintained fork

This feature has been implemented in netresearch/go-cron, a maintained fork of this library.

Implementation: Step range validation now ensures step size is less than range size. For example:

// Now returns error (step >= range size)
_, err := cron.ParseStandard("*/60 * * * *")
// Error: step (60) must be less than range size (60)

// Valid step ranges still work
_, err := cron.ParseStandard("*/15 * * * *") // Every 15 minutes - OK

How to migrate:

// Change import from:
import "github.com/robfig/cron/v3"

// To:
import cron "github.com/netresearch/go-cron"

The API is 100% backward compatible. See the migration guide for details.
