puppet-spec-helper / rspec and hiera

[llo...@oreillyauto.com]

I am trying to write some rspec tests for my modules. Most of them now use hiera.

I have a .fixures.yml:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

fixtures:
  repositories:
    stdlib: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib.git
    hiera-puppet: https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera-puppet.git
  symlinks:
    mongodb: "#{source_dir}"   

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and a spec/classes/mongodb_spec.rb:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

require 'spec_helper'

describe 'mongodb', :type => 'class' do

  context "On an Ubuntu install, admin and single user" do
    let :facts do
      {
        :osfamily => 'Debian',
        :operatingsystem => 'Ubuntu',
        :operatingsystemrelease => '12.04'
      }
    end

    it {
      should contain_user('XXXX').with( { 'uid' => '***' } )
      should contain_group('XXXX').with( { 'gid' => '***' } )
      should contain_package('mongodb').with( { 'name' => 'mongodb' } )
      should contain_service('mongodb').with( { 'name' => 'mongodb' } )
    }
  end
end

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but when I run the spec test, I get:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# rake spec
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 -S rspec spec/classes/mongodb_spec.rb --color
F

Failures:

  1) mongodb On an Ubuntu install, admin and single user
     Failure/Error: should contain_user('XXXX').with( { 'uid' => '***' } )

What did I do wrong? Most of my modules use hiera now, or soon will, so gettng this figured out whould realyl help.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, puppet 2.7.17 and hiera 0.3.0.

I ran into the same issue. The workaround is to checkout the v0.3.0 tag of hiera-puppet.

Since I couldn't figure out a way to do it via the .fixtures.yml file I created a new rake task in Rakefile:

desc "Checkout the correct tag release of hiera"
task :spec_prep_hiera do
    Rake::Task[:spec_prep].invoke
    system("cd spec/fixtures/modules/hiera-puppet && git checkout v0.3.0")
end

I tried this, and I am getting the same error as before.

Just wanted to bump this and see if anyone else had any ideas I could try...

Still unable to get any tests functioning at this point.

Thank you.
