rspec-puppet require syntax

[Guy Knights]

Can someone tell me the correct way to specify the following require statement in an rspec-puppet test?

require => [Class['ssl'],Class['pcre3'],Staging::Extract["nginx-${version}.tar.gz"]]

I tried this: 'require' => "[Class['ssl'],Class['pcre3'],Staging::Extract['nginx-1.4.1.tar.gz']]" but got the following error:

Failure/Error: )

expected that the catalogue would contain Exec[install_nginx] with require set to `"[Class['ssl'],Class['pcre3'],Staging::Extract['nginx-1.4.1.tar.gz']]"` but it is set to `[Class[Ssl]{:name=>"Ssl"}, Class[Pcre3]{:name=>"Pcre3"}, Staging::Extract[nginx-1.4.1.tar.gz]{:name=>"nginx-1.4.1.tar.gz"}]` in the catalogue

I've tried every combination of different quotes, removing the inner quotes, capitalising the resource titles, and even just copying and pasting what the error above says the catalogue is reporting, but it just doesn't work. I thought I had the syntax for requires figured out, but apparently not.

Thanks,

Guy

Does anyone have any feedback on this? I found at least one example (eg. https://genuxation.com/wiki/index.php/RSpec_tests_for_puppet_modules#Specifying_parameters_used_within_the_class) but it didn't work for me.

Thanks,

Guy

Have you tried:

"Class[ssl],Class[pcre3],Staging::Extract[nginx-1.4.1.tar.gz]"

or

"Class[ssl],Class[pcre3],Staging__Extract[nginx-1.4.1.tar.gz]"

I'm pretty sure the error is b/c the class names need to be capitalized.

No such luck. I all the above suggestions (capitalising class names, removing inner quotes) with another require:

  file { 'set_nginx_dir_permissions':

    ensure  => directory,

    path    => "/opt/nginx-${version}",

    owner   => nginx,

    group   => nginx,

    mode    => '0644',

    require => [User['nginx'],Exec['install_nginx']],

  }

 but it says the catalogue is set to [User[nginx]{:name=>"nginx"}, Exec[install_nginx]{:command=>"install_nginx"}], which is what I was getting with the other require.

When 'require' multiple resources, you should copy what the catalog contains :

  'require' => '[User[nginx]{:name=>"nginx"}, Exec[install_nginx]{:command=>"install_nginx"}]',

in the rspec file.  Thats the only way i could make it pass the test.

This syntax works for me:

  'require' => [

    'User[nginx]',

    'Exec[install_nginx]']

Yeh, the quoting of the resource is key I found... Need to quote the entire resource, rather than the resource title...
