Loathing RSpec and Puppet
Posted on June 28, 2016 (Last modified on July 11, 2024) • 1 min read • 135 wordsThere are words for how much I hate RSpec (especially RSpec-Puppet), but they would be too harsh to write down.
So now that I don’t have to google the same shit over and over again, here’s what you have to do to get basic puppet module testing up and running (replace $MODULE with your module name, of course):
require 'rubygems'
require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/rake_tasks'fixtures:
repositories:
concat: git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-concat.git
# alternate method, for specifying refs
stdlib:
repo: git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib.git
ref: 1.0.0
symlinks:
# do _not_ forget this
$MODULE: "#{source_dir}"require 'rubygems'
require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/module_spec_helper'# see also http://rspec-puppet.com/
require 'spec_helper'
describe '$MODULE' do
context 'default' do
it {
should contain_file('/etc/haproxy/haproxy.conf')
}
# or ...
it do
is_expected.to contain_file('/this/syntax/is/even/more/retarded')
end
end
endIt’s “rake spec”, not “rake test”. Of course.
