Case of the "missing" Ruby file

[Peter Berghold]

Hi folks,

I've bravely stepped out into the world of writing tests for my Puppet modules to ensure code quality.  Have run into an issue.  My spec/spec_helper.rb has one line.

require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/module_spec_helper'

I run "rake spec" and this happens:

spec/spec_helper.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- puppetlabs_spec_helper/module_spec_helper (LoadError)

        from /home/pb869e/src/pb869e-attbind/spec/spec_helper.rb:1

        -- and more---

I did a " find /usr -name  module_spec_helper.rb " and it shows up here:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/puppetlabs_spec_helper-0.10.3/lib/puppetlabs_spec_helper/module_spec_helper.rb

so why isn't it loading?

thoughts?

Hi,

so you installed puppet_spec_helper as a gem. This should work, and I'm
not certain what the clean approach of making it work in this scenario
would be. I believe "require 'rubygems'" might help, but I half remember
some issues that can crop up with this.

Personally, I would create a Gemfile, add puppetlabs_spec_helper to it
and run rake through bundler. That should definitely work.

HTH,
Felix

Hi Peter,

I would *highly* recommend using something like RVM to manage your ruby installations for testing. This way you can ensure a clean environment and also be sure that you don't have any conflicting modules or environment pollution.

I'm guessing that there's something wrong with your GEM_PATH, but it could be any number of things including conflicts with the system Ruby.

Thanks,

Trevor
