puppet rspec with hiera helper, fails with error when class is parameterized

[Manish Sapariya]

Hi,
I have two classes as posted in this gist.

https://gist.github.com/msapariya/eca9f77c9f560f8a0e57

kp_ls derives from params and defines two variables.

I am using hiera-puppet-helper in my specs to run hiera
related tests.

However the test is failing with

 1) kp_ls
     Failure/Error: it { should compile }
     Puppet::Error:
       Error from DataBinding 'hiera' while looking up 'kp_ls::somevar': FileSystem implementation expected Pathname, got: 'Hash' on node testhost.example.com
     # ./spec/classes/init_spec.rb:17:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'


If I disable the class parameters, the tests are running fine.
I could not get any clue from code or even googling the issue.

Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Manish

Do you know that rspec-puppet has direct hiera support?

There is no need for the hiera-puppet-herlper anymore:

https://github.com/rodjek/rspec-puppet/pull/125

merged on Dec 4th 2013

Documentation is available on the respec-puppet site

https://github.com/rodjek/rspec-puppet/pull/134

merged on Dec 9th 2013

There is also a blog article on how to make use of rspec-puppet with hiera automatic lookups.

For overwriting hiera variables you only have to add the params hash into your spec file.

hth,

Martin

Thanks Martin, I completely missed that.

Also, just for record, I was using hiera-puppet-herlper version 1.
When I build version 2 gem from github, it worked alright.
