The purpose of this library is to hold all puppet-specific info & DSL methods. This includes all helper & installer methods.
It might not be up to that state yet, but that's the goal for this library. If you see anything puppet-specific that you'd like to pull into this library out of beaker, please do, we would love any help that you'd like to provide.
At this point, beaker-puppet is included in beaker, so you don't have to do anything to get the methods in this library.
You can use these methods in a test by referencing them by name without qualifications, as they're included in the beaker DSL by default.
In beaker's next major version, the requirement for beaker-puppet will be pulled from that repo. When that happens, then the usage pattern will change. In order to use this then, you'll need to include beaker-puppet as a dependency right next to beaker itself.
Once you've done that & installed the gems, in your test, you'll have to
require 'beaker-puppet'Doing this will include (automatically) the beaker-puppet DSL methods in the beaker DSL. Then you can call beaker-puppet methods, exactly as you did before.
You can run the spec testing using our rake task test:spec:run. You can also run
rspec directly. If you'd like to see a coverage report, then you can run the
test:spec:coverage rake task.
Acceptance testing can be run using the acceptance rake test namespace. For
instance, to test using our package installation, you can run the
acceptance:pkg task.
Note in the above rake tasks that there are some environment variables that you
can use to customize your run. For specifying your System Under Test (SUT)
environment, you can use BEAKER_HOSTS, passing a file path to a beaker hosts
file, or you can provide a beaker-hostgenerator value to the TEST_TARGET
environment variable. You can also specify the tests that get executed with the
TESTS environment variable.
