any way to debug a Puppet custom function?

[Thomas Cheng]

Hi howdies,

 Recently I'm picking up some legacy puppet codes in my new company. the puppet code base has custom functions written in ruby before.

One major issue is: how to debug the custom functions to figure out the logic inside? Can I copy/paste into an external general ruby script and debug it with 'ruby -rdebug <script>', Or there is a better puppet-style debugging method that we can learn? Thanks a lot.


Best,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I use RUBYLIB env setting and the pry gem for debugging.

Hi Thomas,

This might help as a reference if you want to use rspec to test your functions. https://github.com/simp/pupmod-simp-simplib/tree/master/spec/functions

Thanks,

Trevor
