Thanks for the tip, Justin and everyone else who replied.
I'll try your suggestion.

 Those are the limit you can pass to the RSpec.configure { ... } block in
 your spec helper.


 Does anyone know how can I pass other parameters, or otherwise affect
 Puppet's configuration to set this value?

 Have you tried something like:

 describe 'foo' do
 before do
 Puppet[:fileserverconfig] = '/my/path/to/fileserver.conf'
 end

 your tests

 end


 Oddly enough, you can't depend on rspec-puppet to configure the settings
 for spec test. For example, puppetlab's spec helper configures the
 modulepath [1] to include spec/fixtures/modules, but this does not seem to
 configure Puppet[:modulepath] setting. For whatever reason, puppet loads
 the modules correctly from spec/fixtures/modules, but when you debug the
 spec test, it appears to set the module path to:

 (rdb:1) p Puppet[:modulepath]
 /dev/null/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules


 Nan -

 In puppetlabs_spec_helper/puppet_spec_helper[1] which was based on a file
 in Puppet[2] the confdir and vardir are explicitly set to '/dev/null' which
 causes the modulepath you're seeing in Puppet proper.

 I believe, however the subject catalog/function that is tested in each
 example group (unless you explicitly create a subject yourself) should mask
 that value with what ever is passed into RSpec.configure (like the
 modulepath setting in module_spec_helper) for its
 compilation/initialization[3][4].

 You can do what Wolf suggested. File server conf is somewhat
 inconsistent, since the setting is actually: Puppet[:fileserverconfig].

 HTH,

Thanks for the clarification, that would certainly explain why I'm seeing
/dev/null in module path.

[Puppet Users] Is it possible to pass extra flags to Puppet via rspec?`

2013-06-26 Thread Amos Shapira 
Hello,

I'm writing my first puppet function rspec test and am having a problem 
which I don't see how to solve.

The function (and the test) involve access to files through the File 
Server. In order for the function (and the test) to work I need to pass 
--fileserverconf=fileserver.conf parameter to Puppet.

So far I haven't found a way to do that.

If I understand the rspec-puppet source 
at https://github.com/rodjek/rspec-puppet/blob/master/lib/rspec-puppet.rb 
correctly then the list of parameters I can pass is limited to the ones 
mentioned in lines 16-22. Am I right?

Does anyone know how can I pass other parameters, or otherwise affect 
Puppet's configuration to set this value?

2013-06-26 Thread Wolf Noble 
Hi Amos,

Here's what I've done:

in spec/spec_helper.rb:

Puppet.settings[:confdir] = spec/fixtures

then in the class I was working on, I made a parameter:


class foo(
  $puppetdir = $settings::confdir
  ){
…
}


then in that class's spec test:

require 'spec_helper'
require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/module_spec_helper'
foo = Puppet.settings[:confdir]

describe 'foo', :type = :class do

let (:params) do { 'puppetdir' = foo } end


…


it stands to reason that a similar method could be employed to feed your
function, but I'm not certain.
