Hi all,

I am investigating whether or not I can use Beaker to do acceptance testing 
on roles and profiles. 

I've had a look at Liam Bennett's excellent blog posts -
http://tech.opentable.co.uk/blog/2014/09/01/testing-puppet-with-beaker-pt-dot-3-testing-roles/
http://www.slideshare.net/liamjbennett/cfgmgmt2015-testing-with-beaker

I need to handle a situation in my tests where, say, a role that I am 
testing will apply a base class which will cause the node, for instance, to 
join a FreeIPA domain.  But I don't want Beaker to actually build a FreeIPA 
box.  And I don't want my short-lived node to join a real FreeIPA domain.  

I would hope that Beaker could either build Mock Services
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mock_object

Or better still, tell Beaker to expect the base class to try to apply the 
FreeIPA class, and just pretend it succeeds.  Just as you can stub out 
methods in rspec etc.

Has anyone done anything like this before?

Kind regards,
Alex Harvey
