This module has grown over time based on a range of contributions from people using it. If you follow these contributing guidelines your patch will likely make it into a release a little more quickly.
Please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms. Contributor Code of Conduct.
-
Fork the repo.
-
Create a separate branch for your change.
-
Run the tests. We only take pull requests with passing tests, and documentation.
-
Add a test for your change. Only refactoring and documentation changes require no new tests. If you are adding functionality or fixing a bug, please add a test.
-
Squash your commits down into logical components. Make sure to rebase against the current master.
-
Push the branch to your fork and submit a pull request.
Please be prepared to repeat some of these steps as our contributors review your code.
The testing and development tools have a bunch of dependencies, all managed by bundler according to the Puppet support matrix.
By default the tests use a baseline version of Puppet.
If you have Ruby 2.x or want a specific version of Puppet, you must set an environment variable such as:
export PUPPET_VERSION="~> 4.2.0"
You can install all needed gems for spec tests into the modules directory by running:
bundle install --path .vendor/ --without development --without system_tests --without release
If you also want to run acceptance tests:
bundle install --path .vendor/ --without development --with system_tests --without release
Our all in one solution if you don't know if you need to install or update gems:
bundle install --path .vendor/ --without development --with system_tests --without release; bundle update; bundle clean
The test suite will run Puppet Lint and Puppet Syntax to check various syntax and style things. You can run these locally with:
bundle exec rake lint
bundle exec rake validate
It will also run some Rubocop tests against it. You can run those locally ahead of time with:
bundle exec rake rubocop
The unit test suite covers most of the code, as mentioned above please add tests if you're adding new functionality. If you've not used rspec-puppet before then feel free to ask about how best to test your new feature.
To run the linter, the syntax checker and the unit tests:
bundle exec rake test
To run your all the unit tests
bundle exec rake spec SPEC_OPTS='--format documentation'
To run a specific spec test set the SPEC
variable:
bundle exec rake spec SPEC=spec/foo_spec.rb
The unit tests just check the code runs, not that it does exactly what we want on a real machine. For that we're using beaker.
This fires up a new virtual machine (using vagrant) and runs a series of simple tests against it after applying the module. You can run this with:
bundle exec rake acceptance
This will run the tests on the module's default nodeset. You can override the nodeset used, e.g.,
BEAKER_set=centos-7-x64 bundle exec rake acceptance
There are default rake tasks for the various acceptance test modules, e.g.,
bundle exec rake beaker:centos-7-x64
bundle exec rake beaker:ssh:centos-7-x64
If you don't want to have to recreate the virtual machine every time you can
use BEAKER_destroy=no
and BEAKER_provision=no
. On the first run you will at
least need BEAKER_provision
set to yes (the default). The Vagrantfile for the
created virtual machines will be in .vagrant/beaker_vagrant_files
.
The easiest way to debug in a docker container is to open a shell:
docker exec -it -u root ${container_id_or_name} bash
