rspec-puppet not working

[Guy Knights]

I'm trying to get rspec-puppet working and have run into a problem. I have a VM running ubuntu lucid, have installed rubygems 1.3.5 from the apt package and have install rspec-puppet (and other required gems), and rake, using gem install.

I've run rspec-puppet-init in the module I want to test, and have created a very basic spec file for one of the classes in my module. However, when I run 'rake spec' from the top level of the module directory, I get the following error:

(in /modules/couchbase)

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 -S rspec spec/classes/init_spec.rb

/usr/bin/ruby1.8: No such file or directory -- rspec (LoadError)

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 -S rspec spec/classes/init_spec.rb failed

It seems like it can't load rspec, but if I do 'gem list --local' it shows in the list of locally installed gems:

vagrant@ubuntu-server-10044-x64-vbox4210-nocm:/modules/couchbase$ gem list --local

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

diff-lcs (1.2.4)

metaclass (0.0.1)

mocha (0.14.0)

puppet-lint (0.3.2)

puppetlabs_spec_helper (0.4.1)

rake (10.1.0)

rspec (2.14.1)

rspec-core (2.14.5)

rspec-expectations (2.14.2)

rspec-mocks (2.14.3)

rspec-puppet (0.1.6)

Does anyone know why it's not working? I've searched for an answer online, but I'm not overly familiar with ruby, gems, rake, etc and I'm at a bit of a loss.

Thanks,

Guy

As an alternative to the rspec-puppet-init stuff try installing the 'puppetlabs_spec_helper' gem and then update spec_helper.rb to be:

require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/module_spec_helper'

Then you can just 'rake spec' and see if that works out better for you.

Do I need to replace the entire contents of spec_helper.rb with that file? Also, do I need to change my rake file from the following content?

require 'rake'

require 'rspec/core/rake_task'

RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec) do |t|

  t.pattern = 'spec/*/*_spec.rb'

end

Ok, I found the solution - it was a simple case of adding the path to the rspec bin directory to my PATH. Rake is using the -S switch, which uses PATH to find the rspec binary.

Thanks,
