[Puppet Users] Unit-Testing/test: recommended method?
Hi, is there any officially recommended default/standard method to realize Puppet module unit test beyond linting (puppet-lint)? Compatibility to version 3.x is nice but NOT needed. My main questions are: 1) I know there are different, well-known methods: - Test::Unit - rspec-puppet - cucumber-puppet Is there anything missing worth a look? Which are deprecated, wich are future-proof? 2) There are helpful blog postings and articles out there [1] [2] [3] [4]. However, none of them gives me a clue if there is a commonly recommended tool/method to implement Unit test, some kind of use X because everybody is using it, you won't get compatibility issues and the dev-community behind is healthy. A hint out of e.g. Puppet Labs or experienced community members Point-of-View would be very helpful. Are there any recommendations? Getting familiar with testing needs some work which I don't want to invest into the wrong candidate/method/tools. ;-) [1] http://puppetlabs.com/blog/testing-modules-in-the-puppet-forge/ [2] http://bombasticmonkey.com/2012/03/02/automatically-test-your-puppet-modules-with-travis-ci/ [3] http://puppetlabs.com/blog/testing-modules-in-the-puppet-forge/ [4] http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Development_Writing_Tests -- Andreas http://blog.andreas-haerter.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Which are deprecated, wich are future-proof? Not aware of Test::Unit. Cucumber Puppet is deprecated. rspec-puppet is the way to go. rspec-puppet is great for testing an isolated module. For testing a complete machine or all of the catalog, I very much prefer cucumber-puppet. That's why I forked the repo and develop it further [1]. ruby 1.9 and puppet 3 are supported by my fork. If you use Puppet 2.7 and Ruby 1.8, I recommend the official gem. If you have puppet 3, the you could give my fork a try. Up until now, it's just a few fixes, I haven't had the time to integrate them into the bigger picture with backwards compatibility and so on. I have puppet-lint and cucumber-puppet integrated into my Jenkins-setup.
