Re: Need help with rspec-puppet

[Jian]

Anybody else received this or similar error?

 

What I was able to figure out so far is that:

by adding "require 'puppet' to the spec test my error changes to:

 

 Error converting value for param 'plugindest': Error converting value for param 'libdir': Could not find value for $vardir on node puppet-demo

 

So not a big improvement. The error probably occurs before the test itself. Because the error is the same even if I delete the tested .pp file.

 

Any help would be appreciated :-).

Hello Everyone,

 

I am fairly new to puppet and I would like to run som unit tests. I hope rspec is the right tool for it. Unfortunately, after setting it up, when I try to execute it I receive the following error:

 

Failures:

  1) helloworld
     Failure/Error: it { should include_class('helloworld') }
     Puppet::Error:
       Error converting value for param 'deviceconfig': Could not find value for $confdir on node puppet-demo
     # ./spec/classes/helloworld_spec.rb:8

Thiss error pops up for any test I try.

 

I wasn't able to find a solution yet. Can you please give me any advice?

 

Thank you.

What version of puppet are you using?

Can you share your code - module and test? Either put in the email, or for better readability, use pastie or gist.

I haven't puppetlabs-rspec-helper gem installed.

 

I added it to my ruby gems and chaneged both spec_helper.rb and Rakefile as described here:

and it works now.

 

Big thanks to everyone that tried to help me. :-)
