jimdo-rspec-puppet-helpers

This gem adds a single rspec helper method to puppet-rspec in order to test the contents of a file which has no content param, but a source param.

It looks up the path (e. g. puppet:///modules/sample/test.ini) like puppet would do and compares its content to a given regular expression.

This is especially useful if you have a legacy codebase which excessively abuses File->src: E. g. you can do safe refactorings like this:

1. Write tests for existing files with this helper

   it 'should be able to upload 100 files in one HTTP POST' do
     should puppet_file_contains('/etc/php5/php.ini', /^max_uploads = 100\n$/m)
   end
   

2. Refactor: Make thie File a template and replace source with content

3. Adjust test:

   should contain_file('/etc/php5/php.ini').with({
     :content => /^max_uploads = 100\n$/m
   })
   

4. Use a module like inifile in order to get rid of the regular expression hell and in order to have real DESCRIPTIVE cfg mgmt.
