Announce: puppet-retrospec 1.0.0 now available - easiest way to generate rspec-puppet tests

[Corey Osman]

Happy to announce the 1.0.0 release of puppet-retrospec.  This release is a major overhaul from the previous version hence the 1.0.0 release.

This release includes full support for puppet 4 parser among other fixes.  Horray! Puppet 4 support!

If your puppet code is non puppet4 compliant you will want to use puppet-retrospec versions prior to 1.0.0.  This is due to the puppet4 parser enforcing code deprecations by throwing errors instead of warnings.

puppet-retrospec comes bundled with puppet 4.5.2 in order to keep your current puppet versions safe. This is done intentionally in case you are not ready for puppet4 installation just yet. 

This also means your ruby version must also be complaint with puppet 4.5.2 ( https://docs.puppet.com/guides/platforms.html#ruby-versions) which is anything from ruby 1.9.3 -2.3.    

Did you know you can also use puppet-retrospec to generate puppet modules, facts, types, functions, providers, and other items?  Want something else generated, create a feature request. 

You can install using: gem install puppet-retrospec
