Years ago there were a lot of docs about how to setup Puppet to allow someone to build modules outside having to have a master/client setup using puppet apply.
I am trying to figure out the very cryptic world of spec/rspec, as it seems to not be documented very well anywhere for anyone other than someone that already knows it, In doing so I don't want to be able to develop in my home directory in a server versus having to develop modules and test with rspec against a full puppet server configuration. So far I have found little bits and pieces around, but nothing definitive or documented well for building something of this nature. The best I found so far were pre-built Ubuntu Docker containers or Vagrant builds. I don't have access to either presently or the time to build out a server to handle hosting either. Does anyone have a guide to setting up a stand-alone puppet client for development. There used to be a rspec-puppet.com/setup page and that is what is linked from inside the documentation, but the page is gone. What I have so far is: 1. .Install puppet-agent to the host as root. 2. Setup paths to use the Ruby configuration from the puppet-agent so that the any gem add-ons are compatible with the version of the puppet-agent RPM. 3. Install puppetlabs-stdlib, rspec-puppet and any dependencies they require. When I have done a puppet module generate <name> and a rspec-puppet-init, I create a basic test to ensure the module compiles, as noted on the rspec-puppet Github page https://github.com/rodjek/rspec-puppet, That fails saying it can find compile. describe 'mymodule' do it { is_expected.to compile } end Any other tests that "should" work don't. either. So in modules/test/manifests/init.pp I have: class test { package { 'somepackage': ensure => present, } } And my modules/test/spec/class/init_spec.rb has require 'spec_helper' describe 'test' do it { is_expected.to contain('somepackage').with_ensure('present') end So since this seems to be non-functional in my puppet development environment, which is a copy of my prod, I want to set it up fresh. When I tried in my home directory all i got were errors. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
