puppetlabs_spec_helper is a Rubygem to make writing and running module spec tests using rspec-puppet easier. It includes a set of common rake tasks and a spec_helper that correctly initializes puppet and rspec-puppet for testing.
The code is available on github at http://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs_spec_helper. Patches are welcome. To convert a module with existing spec tests to use the gem: * install the gem with 'gem install puppetlabs_spec_helper' * Change your Rakefile to the following contents: require 'rubygems' require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/rake_tasks' If you have any special rake tasks, you can add them after the requires and they will work as expected. * Change spec/spec_helper.rb to the following contents: require 'rubygems' require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/module_spec_helper' * Create a .fixtures.yml file: fixtures: repositories: "stdlib": "git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib" symlinks: "MY_MODULE": "#{source_dir}" Other dependency modules can be added to the "repositories" section. * Run 'rm -r spec/fixtures'. The rake task will populate the fixtures directory for you based on your .fixtures.yml Once these steps are completed, you can execute 'rake spec' to run your rspec-puppet spec tests. For an example module which uses the gem for its spec tests, see https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
