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="~> 3.2.0"
Install the dependencies like so...
bundle install
...or promote reuse of bundled gems across projects by running:
bundle install --path=~/.bundle
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 syntax
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. Running the test suite is done with:
bundle exec rake spec
Note also you can run the syntax, style and unit tests in one go with:
bundle exec rake test
