Using puppetlabs_spec_helper on Windows 7

[Matthieu Nantern]

I'm trying to make puppetlabs_spec_helper runs on Windows 7 to test my Puppet modules.

 

Is this supported ? Because I encountered some problems:

1. symlinks were not created on Windows 7 (even if the functionnality are availabe). To manage that I added to rake_tasks.rb an ugly function:
   
   def make_link(source,target)
     ruby_platform = RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os']
     if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin|mingw|cygwin/ then
       #Windows Stuff
       source_win=source.tr("/","\\")
       target_win=target.tr("/","\\")
       `call mklink /D #{target_win} #{source_win}`
     elsif RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /linux/ then
       FileUtils::ln_s(source, target)
     end
   end
   
   
2. undefined method `fetch' for nil:NilClass:
   
        Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace
        NoMethodError:
          undefined method `fetch' for nil:NilClass
        # C:/Program Files/Puppet Labs/Puppet/puppet/lib/puppet/test/test_helper.rb:107:in `block in after_each_test'
        # C:/Program Files/Puppet Labs/Puppet/puppet/lib/puppet/test/test_helper.rb:106:in `each'
        # C:/Program Files/Puppet Labs/Puppet/puppet/lib/puppet/test/test_helper.rb:106:in `after_each_test'
   
   
3. I use the concat module. And when running "rake test", I got:
   
   Failure/Error: should contain_package('nfs-utils')
        Puppet::Error:
          $concat_basedir not defined. Try running again with pluginsync=true on the [master] section of your node's '/etc/puppet/puppet.conf'.

 

Is it a lost cause ? Or someone succeeded to test puppet modules on Windows ?

 

Thank you for your help !

I do have the same error on linux.

It has something tot do with the concat module.

If you write a rspec file for a class not using the concat module, it should work. 

Unfortunately, i do not have a solution for our problem.

I wouldn't say lost cause - https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs_spec_helper/pull/87 and https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs_spec_helper/pull/84 - those were released in 0.9.0 (somewhere late February) I believe.
