hsnodgrass3/puppet-test-environment repository overview

⁠puppet-test-environment

A Docker container to be used as a Jenkins executor for running puppet-lint, puppet-syntax, and rspec tests against Puppet modules. Container can be pulled from Docker Hub using hsnodgrass3/puppet-test-environment. Link to Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/hsnodgrass3/puppet-test-environment/⁠

⁠Notes

This container contains a patched init.rb file for puppet/provider/service/init.rb. The reason for this is that, when running puppet-rspec tests on Puppet modules that included the provider puppetlabs/powershell, errors would be thrown when lines 24 and 25 of puppet/provider/service/init.rb attempted to determine the default provider for the OS. This is most likely becuase this container is nix-based and puppetlabs/powershell only works on Windows. The fix was to convert the facter fact os to a string before envoking the downcase method on that fact, probably because there was no compatabile os fact and you can't downcase something that exists. I could also be completely wrong about this, but the hack has been working so far. The changes to init.rb are as follows:

original init.rb

23.	  confine :true => begin
24.	      os = Facter.value(:operatingsystem).downcase
25.	      family = Facter.value(:osfamily).downcase
26.	      !(os == 'debian' || os == 'ubuntu' || family == 'redhat')
27.	  end

patched init.rb
23.	  confine :true => begin
24.	      os = Facter.value(:operatingsystem).to_s.downcase
25.	      family = Facter.value(:osfamily).to_s.downcase
26.	      !(os == 'debian' || os == 'ubuntu' || family == 'redhat')
27.	  end
