Editor’s note: Please check out the much newer article Configuring Travis CI on a Puppet Module Repo for the new “best practices” around setting up rspec-puppet. You are encouraged to use the newer setup, though everything on this page will still work! We recently discussed test-driven development for puppet modules in the context of rspec-puppet. […]
Editor’s note: Please check out the much newer article Configuring Travis CI on a Puppet Module Repo for the new “best practices” around setting up rspec-puppet. You are encouraged to use the newer setup, though everything on this page will still work! Over the course of the Puppet series, one thing I’ve ignored is testing. […]
I previously wrote about converting an individual puppet module’s repo to use the Puppet Development Kit. We can also convert controlrepos to use the PDK. I am starting with a “traditional” controlrepo, described here, as well as centralized tests, described here. To follow this article directly, you need to: Have all hiera data and role/profile/custom […]
As I lamented in my article on converting to the PDK, I really do not like Rubocop and was disappointed I could not turn it off. Thankfully, that was addressed in PDK-998 and the fix was included in time for PDK 1.6.0! Disabling it is pretty simple and though it’s strictly a fix to pdk-templates, […]
A few years ago, I set up my modules with a bundle-based test setup and modulesync and wrote a companion blog post. Since that was written, a lot of things have changed with puppet. One of those is the release last year of the Puppet Development Kit (PDK). The goal of the PDK is to […]
If you missed the news this past week, the Puppet 5 Platform was released! Read the announcement and the release notes for some great details. Congratulations to everyone at Puppet for getting this new release out the door. I’m looking forward to diving in with it as soon as a Puppet Enterprise release is out, […]
As I’ve worked through setting up Jenkins and Puppet (and remembering my password!), I created a job to automate rspec tests on my puppet controlrepo. I am sure I will go through many iterations of this as I learn more, so we’ll just call this version 1.0. The goal is that when I push a […]
Yesterday, I tackled upgrading Linux Puppet Enterprise agents with puppet_agent and said I would give Windows agents a try next. It’s simultaneously extremely easy and really difficult to accomplish this! On the manifest side, it’s as simple as including the class in a profile for Windows agents. On the rspec side, we need to add […]
Happy New Year, everyone! I know that when I last blogged before the holiday, I was getting settled in with Jenkins, but I really needed to relax during the break so I had to hold off on that. I promise, I’ll get back to that soon, but in the meantime I encountered an issue that […]
If you have a project of any complexity that is using Travis CI for testing, you’ve inevitably run into an issue where you make a minor change – maybe even just to a markdown file – and the tests that were passing before completely bomb. If this hasn’t happened to you, just wait, it will! […]
