Issue #10296 has been updated by Justin Stoller.

(had a little free time during lunch and this sounded interesting, FWIW)

Changing these tests from 

<pre>

@schedule.should be_match

</pre>

to the uglier, but more explicit

<pre>

@schedule.match?.should be_true

</pre>

causes two (different than mentioned) tests to fail with wrong number of 
argument errors. While in irb initializing an instance of using the same steps 
in the tests I get all of the correct behavior (without args):

(note: it was about noon when I did this [and didn't stub out Time in irb])

<pre>

>> require 'puppet'

>> @sched = Puppet::Type.type(:schedule).new(:name => 'testing')

>> @sched[:range] = "10:59:50 - 10:59:55"
>> @sched.match?
=> false

>> @sched[:range] = "10:59:50 - 16:00:00"
>> @sched.match?
=> true

>> @sched[:range] = "13:59:50 - 16:00:00"
>> @sched.match?
=> false

</pre>

Bug #10296: rspec unit tests are not reporting failure when they should be
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10296

Author: Sean Millichamp
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: 
Category: testing
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: development
Keywords: rspec schedule testing
Branch:   master


I was working on a patch to the schedule type and as part of this I was writing 
some additional unit tests into the spec/unit/type/schedule_spec.rb file

I had written a number of tests which I fully expected to fail and then ran 
them. Much to my surprise they all showed as passing.

After some investigation, every call like "@schedule.should be_match" always 
reports passing, even if it should have failed.  After dropping some debugging 
statements in schedule's match? method it seems that it is never even being 
invoked.

All tests of the form "@schedule.should_not be_match" do invoke match? in 
schedule and pass/fail appropriately.

I don't know enough about how rspec works to troubleshoot it further, but it 
seems like a considerable issue to me.  In fact, I believe that if this was 
working properly you would see at least one test failure relating to arrays of 
ranges.

A simple change that can be made to the unit test to show this behavior is:

<pre>
diff --git a/spec/unit/type/schedule_spec.rb b/spec/unit/type/schedule_spec.rb
index b302d95..7a04abc 100755
--- a/spec/unit/type/schedule_spec.rb
+++ b/spec/unit/type/schedule_spec.rb
@@ -81,12 +81,12 @@ describe Puppet::Type.type(:schedule) do
     end
 
     it "should match when the start time is before the current time and the 
end time is after the current time" do
-      @schedule[:range] = "10:59:50 - 11:00:10"
+      @schedule[:range] = "10:59:50 - 10:59:55"
       @schedule.should be_match
     end
 
     it "should not match when the start time is after the current time" do
-      @schedule[:range] = "11:00:05 - 11:00:10"
+      @schedule[:range] = "10:59:05 - 11:00:10"
       @schedule.should_not be_match
     end
 
</pre>
    
Before this change, both show success (as you would expect).  After this 
change, This first one should report failure, and doesn't.  The second one 
should report failure and does.  Dropping a debugging print in schedule's 
match? method will show that "should"s never invoke match?.  This is the single 
failure run after the above changes:

<pre>
Failures:

  1) Puppet::Type::Schedule Puppet::Type::Schedule when matching ranges should 
not match when the start time is after the current time
     Failure/Error: @schedule.should_not be_match
       expected match? to return false, got true
     # ./schedule_spec.rb:90

Finished in 0.52018 seconds
41 examples, 1 failure, 1 pending
</pre>

Thank you.
