rspec-puppet with custom types

[Michael Watters]

Hello,

Does anybody know how to make rspec-puppet work with modules that use custom types for class parameters?  I am getting an error when I run spec tests such as follows.

# Puppet::ParseError:

      #   Expected parameter 'ensure' of 'Class[Logrotate]' to have type Logrotate::Ensurable, got String

The Logrotate::Ensurable type is defined in the logrotate module which is listed in .fixtures.yml. 

As a workaround I can use an older version of the logrotate module which does not include custom types but I'd rather have our tests match the production environment.

It sounds like rspec-puppet does not initialize a complete environment
with all required modules on the modulepath.

Suggest filing an issue against rspec-puppet.

Is the logrotate module in your modules metadata.json dependency list? I've had issues in the past with custom datatypes, and that seemed to fix it for me...

Thanks.  I'll create an issue with the rspec-puppet project.
