Sorry, but this is a blatant call for help. I'm desperately out of my depth with creating tests due to my lack of experience with just about every component involved.
The background is, I'm trying to create the necessary tests to have #2866 accepted. I'm running into problems just getting a basic "should specify the package version if one is asked for" test running. I've looked through the yum provider code, the other providers, tests for other providers etc but can't seem to come up with something that works. I'm quite certain it is mostly due to lack of knowledge but perhaps also is related to the providers working in slightly different ways. Here is what I have so far: ----- #!/usr/bin/env ruby require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../../spec_helper' provider = Puppet::Type.type(:package).provider(:yum) describe provider do before do # Create a mock resource @resource = stub 'resource' # A catch all; no parameters set @resource.stubs(:[]).returns nil # We have to set a name, though @resource.stubs(:[]).with(:name).returns "mypackage" @resource.stubs(:[]).with(:ensure).returns :installed @resource.stubs(:[]).with(:ensure).returns "1.0" @provider = provider.new(@resource) @provider.stubs(:resource).returns @resource end it "should have an install method" do @provider.should respond_to(:install) end it "should be versionable" do provider.should be_versionable end it "should use erase to purge" do @provider.expects(:yum).with("-y", :erase, "mypackage") @provider.purge end describe "when installing" do it "should specify the package version if one is asked for" do @resource.expects(:name).with(:ensure).returns "1.0" @resource.expects(:name) @provider.expects(:yum).with("-d", "0", "-e", "0", "-y", :install, "mypackage-1.0") @provider.stubs(:yum).returns "yum" @provider.install end end end ----- My output is as follows: ----- Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum - should have an install method - should be versionable - should use erase to purge Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum when installing - should specify the package version if one is asked for (FAILED - 1) 1) Puppet::Error in 'Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum when installing should specify the package version if one is asked for' Could not find package ./spec/unit/provider/package/yum.rb:45: /home/ohookins/work/puppet/spec/monkey_patches/add_confine_and_runnable_to_rspec_dsl.rb:22:in `run' /home/ohookins/work/puppet/spec/monkey_patches/add_confine_and_runnable_to_rspec_dsl.rb:17:in `each' /home/ohookins/work/puppet/spec/monkey_patches/add_confine_and_runnable_to_rspec_dsl.rb:17:in `run' Finished in 0.160654 seconds 4 examples, 1 failure ----- I guess that I am not pre-setting the correct information in the mocked provider, so that it thinks the relevant package is available to be installed. I previously did not have the "@resource.expects(:name)" line in the last test, and it complained about an unexpected invocation to <Mock#resource>.name() which does not make sense to me but then, not much of this does. Some kind soul helped me out last week on the IRC channel and mentioned there may be bugs in the actual provider, but I cannot comment on that. Any input or flames are welcome.
