Overview

This module contains various items that are used across the SIMP infrastructure. It additionally provides a landing spot for manifests that don't really justify an entire module on their own.

This is a SIMP module

This module is a component of the System Integrity Management Platform, a compliance-management framework built on Puppet.

If you find any issues, they can be submitted to our JIRA.

Please read our Contribution Guide and visit our developer wiki.

Development

Please see the SIMP Contribution Guidelines.

Acceptance tests

To run the system tests, you need Vagrant installed. Then, run:

bundle exec rake acceptance

Some environment variables may be useful:

BEAKER_debug=true
BEAKER_provision=no
BEAKER_destroy=no
BEAKER_use_fixtures_dir_for_modules=yes

• BEAKER_debug: show the commands being run on the STU and their output.
• BEAKER_destroy=no: prevent the machine destruction after the tests finish so you can inspect the state.
• BEAKER_provision=no: prevent the machine from being recreated. This can save a lot of time while you're writing the tests.
• BEAKER_use_fixtures_dir_for_modules=yes: cause all module dependencies to be loaded from the spec/fixtures/modules directory, based on the contents of .fixtures.yml. The contents of this directory are usually populated by bundle exec rake spec_prep. This can be used to run acceptance tests to run on isolated networks.
