Issue #586 has been updated by luke.

Status changed from Needs design decision to Accepted
Assigned to changed from luke to community
Affected version set to 0.24.4

I think this is a good idea, at least for integration tests. It doesn't make 
any sense for unit tests, and hopefully most integration tests can even be 
stubbed to test all forms -- e.g., we can have the output of 'ifconfig -a' on 
multiple platforms and use that for integration tests, rather than actually 
directly running ifconfig.

Feature #586: Unit test data should be locally overridable
http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/issues/show/586

Author: luke
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: community
Category: testing
Target version: unplanned
Complexity: Easy
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.24.4
Keywords: 


As the tests get more complicated, we're adding more test data, but a lot of 
the test data only works on specific hosts (e.g., different machines run 
different services that are testable).

We need to have decent default data in the test/data/ directory, preferably in 
yaml, but it should be locally overridable so that if someone wants to test a 
different service or package, they can.

David Schmitt proposed @@/etc/puppet/test.conf.yaml@@; I'd probably prefer 
s/.conf//, but otherwise am ok with that.  Note that tests will need to work as 
both root and a normal user.
