Yes? I have to admit I'm a bit lazy with writing actual rspec tests. My usual testing order would be `puppet apply /tmp/test.pp`, `cucumber- puppet features/catalog/foo.catalog`, then finally running it in a representative test (then staging) environment. I highly recommend cucumber-puppet, you should be able to inspect the clients catalog for resources and values. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
