errors in crontab file, can't install

Me new in ruby on rails. I make schedule.rb by using the whenever gem, and write a code

set :environment, "development"
set :output, {:error => "log/cron_error_log.log", :standard => "log/cron_log.log"}

every '* * * * * *' do    
  command "echo 'you can use raw cron syntax too'"
end

I already did whenever, but when I update crontab it gives following error

"-":3: bad command
errors in crontab file, can't install.
[fail] Couldn't write crontab; try running `whenever' with no options to
       ensure your schedule file is valid.

What is its solution?

The Unix crontab has 5 fields; minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week.

This line:

every '* * * * * *' do
       1 2 3 4 5 6 <- Error

You entered too many fields.
