rspec-puppet: mocking included params class in defines

[vkan...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I'm trying to test a defined type that looks like this:

define app_setup::app($app_name = $title) {

  include app_setup::params

  $app_host       = $app_setup::params::app_hosts[$app_name]['url']

  $app_port       = $app_setup::params::app_hosts[$app_name]['port']

  $deploy_user    = $app_setup::params::deploy_user

   ...

}

And I'm trying to write a spec like this:

describe 'app_setup::app', :type => :define do

  let(:title) { 'some_app_name' }

end

My question is, how can I assign the values of $app_setup::params::app_hosts in the spec? I tried several combinations of 'let' but didn't work.

Thanks,

Vamsee.

I use this one to set parameters for a define in my rspec

let(:facts) { { :hostname => 'sambaserver' } }

context 'default setting' do
let(:params) { { :share_path => '/testpath/share' } }
...
end

this is an expert of my define

define samba::define_share (
share_path,
share_browsable = $samba::params::share_browsable,
share_readonly = $samba::params::share_readonly,
share_write_list = $samba::params::share_write_list,
share_valid_users = $samba::params::share_valid_users,
..... )

hope this helps

Thanks a bunch Johan, that gave me some ideas. I was able to rewrite
my tests successfully based on your pattern.

Are you able to share how you went about mocking out the ::params class include?

As I've got the same pattern that I want to test using rspec-puppet...

Cheers

Hi Gavin,

I ended up adding all the params to the define explicity, instead of
including the params class:

define app_setup::app(
$app_name = $title,
$app_host = $app_setup::params::app_hosts[$title]['url'],
$app_port = $app_setup::params::app_hosts[$title]['port'],
$deploy_user = $app_setup::params::deploy_user,
...
)

The params are accessible in the define without inheriting because I did this in the
init.pp file:

class app_setup($deploy_env = 'UNSET') {
include app_setup::params
...
}

And testing it the usual way:

let(:params) { {
:app_host => 'api.example.net',
:app_port => '3009',
:deploy_user => 'test_user',
...
}}

Hope this helps. I thought this was much cleaner in its contract rather than including
the params class. This might or might not appeal to you, though.


Vamsee.
