How to test custom types using Rspec-puppet?

Question

I am trying to test a custom_type using rspec-puppet.

Puppet Code

class vim::ubuntu::config {
  custom_multiple_files { \'line_numbe         


        

Answer 1

You'll need to have a copy of your module in your spec/fixtures/module folder. You can also use a symlink to add a reference from spec/fixtures/module to your custom_type_module.

Answer 2

An example .fixtures.yml file inside the module's root directory:

---
fixtures:
  repositories:
    concat:
      repo: 'git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-concat.git'
      ref:  '1.0.0'
    stdlib:
      repo: 'git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib.git'
      ref:  '3.2.0'

  symlinks:
    keepalived: "#{source_dir}"

Be sure to include "require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/rake_tasks'" in your Rakefile and adjust aforementioned paths/repos/module names.
