Firstly, forgive me if I get my terminology mixed up. Being sold on
the virtues of TDD, I have a growing itch to test our puppet
manifests. Now by this I dont mean testing, say, the mechanics of a
define to test that the right things *happen*, I mean being able to
say that given a collection of classes and parameters for a node, the
following resources should be created and the relationship between
them should be xyz.
How would I go about this? Is it a case of generating a catalog from
the manifest, parsing that and then making assertions on the result?
Does puppet already have a framework or API to enable this sort of
testing?
Some pseudo code to perhaps explain what I'd like to achieve:
c = generate_catalog(
classes=['foo', 'bar'],
parameters={
'a':1,
'b':2
}),
assertEqual(
c.resources.get("File['/foo/bar/baz']").mode,
777,
)
assertTrue(c.resources.get("File['/foo/bar/baz']").parent is
c.resources.get("File['/foo/bar']"))
