As Jeff said, ideally you wouldn't have any cross-module dependencies, but everyone still does it.
There's a couple of ways you can solve this issue at the moment. The first (and my preferred way) is to setup a fixtures directory as described in http://bombasticmonkey.com/2012/03/02/automatically-test-your-puppet-modules-with-travis-ci/ and then drop your apt module into spec/fixtures/modules/apt so that it's available to rspec-puppet. The other option is to define a stub apt::source type like so ``` describe 'foo::bar' do let(:pre_condition) { "define apt::source($param1, $param2…) {}" } it { should contain_apt__source('baz') } end ``` Cheers, Tim On Thursday, 8 March 2012 at 3:22 AM, Jeff McCune wrote: > On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 10:53 PM, R.
