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?
On a general note, I'd say that acceptance tests should be end-to-end
tests. That would imply, that unless you're actually testing the real
domain joining, what value would you get out of the test?
Cheers, David
