Beaker Puppet Helpers

The purpose of this library is to hold Puppet-specific info & DSL methods. This includes all helper & installer methods.

This is based on beaker-puppet and beaker-puppet_install_helper but is a reduced set.

How Do I Use This?

You will need to include beaker-puppet alongside Beaker in your Gemfile or project.gemspec. E.g.

# Gemfile
gem 'beaker_puppet_helpers', '~> 0.1.0'

# project.gemspec
s.add_runtime_dependency 'beaker_puppet_helpers', '~> 0.1.0'

For DSL Extension Libraries, you must also ensure that you require the library in your test files. You can do this manually in individual test files or in a test helper (if you have one). You can use Bundler.require() to require the library automatically. To explicitly require it:

require 'beaker_puppet_helpers'

Doing this will include (automatically) the beaker_puppet_helpers DSL methods in the beaker DSL. Then you can call beaker_puppet_helpers methods.

How Do I Test This?

Unit / Spec Testing

You can run the spec testing using the rake task spec. You can also run rspec directly.

Acceptance Testing

Acceptance testing can be run using the acceptance rake test.

Note in the above rake tasks that there are some environment variables that you can use to customize your run. For specifying your System Under Test (SUT) environment, you can use BEAKER_HOSTS, passing a file path to a beaker hosts file or a beaker-hostgenerator value. You can also specify the tests that get executed with the TESTS environment variable.
