Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 4.10.0
• Ruby: shippe with Puppet

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

Install puppet-yum:

# puppet module install puppet-yum

Assign yum module to all nodes in site.pp on puppetserver:

node default {

    class { 'yum':
      keep_kernel_devel => true,
      clean_old_kernels => true,
      config_options    => {
          my_cachedir => {
            ensure => '/home/waldo/.local/yum/cache',
            key    => 'cachedir',
          },
          gpgcheck    => true,
          debuglevel  => 5,
          assumeyes   => {
            ensure => 'absent',
          },
        },
    }

}

Apply yum setting on the client node:

client# cat /dev/null > /etc/yum.conf; puppet agent --verbose --debug -t

Any additional information you'd like to impart

The settings above come from puppet-yum's README. On pupetforge page, config_options usage is not documented yet. https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/yum

If you're using the version from git then the README in the repository's correct. If you're using the Forge version 1.0.0 though, follow the README on the Forge.

1.0.0 doesn't have config_options, use yum::config instead: https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/yum#yumconfig
