aws_alb_listener_rule resource should not be able to accept multiple values in the condition object

[jflammia]

Using the aws_alb_listener_rule, the argument 'condition' with field 'path-pattern' is documented as accepting a list for the 'values'. However, AWS does not allow this.

AWS Documentation

Rule Conditions

Each rule condition can have one path pattern. You can create multiple rules, each with a different path pattern, in order to route requests to different target groups based on the URLs in the requests. If the URL in a request matches a path pattern in a listener rule exactly, the request is routed using that rule; otherwise, the request is routed using the default rule.

From my Terraform configuration file:

resource "aws_alb_listener_rule" "jenkins" {
  listener_arn = "${aws_alb_listener.https.arn}"
  priority     = 100

  action {
    type             = "forward"
    target_group_arn = "${module.jenkins.alb_target_group_arn}"
  }

  condition {
    field  = "path-pattern"
    values = ["/jenkins", "/jenkins/*"]
  }
}

resource "aws_alb_listener_rule" "artifactory" {
  listener_arn = "${aws_alb_listener.https.arn}"
  priority     = 101

  action {
    type             = "forward"
    target_group_arn = "${module.artifactory.alb_target_group_arn}"
  }

  condition {
    field  = "path-pattern"
    values = ["/artifactory", "/artifactory/*"]
  }
}

Response after running 'terraform apply':

Error applying plan:

This occurs using Terraform 0.9.1

Actually it does support, I tried with TF version terraform_0.12.19_linux_amd64/terraform and it worked fine.
