This is an example Puppet module that shows how you can write spec tests to validate your Puppet code. Using this module you can iterate faster, and test your code without deploying to real Puppet servers.
If you already have Bundler installed, go to the next step.
If you don't have Bundler, then you'll have to install it before you can run spec tests from this module. You should also have a recent version of Ruby installed. An easy way to get both of these is to install the Puppet Enterprise agent for your workstation OS.
Since this is a simple example, we're going to install Bundler as a global system library. Ruby experts will probably reccomend other ways to install Bundler. YMMV.
Check if you have gem available in your path (Linux and OSX only):
which gem
If you do, install Bundler as a global gem:
sudo gem install bundler
Working with
TODO...
- git clone this module to your workstation
- cd into the working directory
- run
bundle install- this will install all of the Ruby libraries from the Gemfile.lock - run
bundle exec rake spec- this will run the actual spec tests
After installing all of the Ruby libraries, and running rake spec, Ruby loaded Puppet, which
compiled a catalog, and rspec-puppet checked that catalog to ensure it matches the code in
spec/classes/init_spec.rb.
