Issue #13595 has been updated by Kelsey Hightower.
I think it would be awesome to have something like rspec-modules, where we can have a central place for module testing stuff. I don't have details right now, but I think this could be the right thing to do. ---------------------------------------- Bug #13595: initialize_everything_for_tests couples modules to specific Puppet versions https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13595#change-59474 Author: Eric Shamow Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Ran into this while attempting to run spec tests on the puppetlabs-ntp module from Git: Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace NoMethodError: undefined method `initialize_everything_for_tests' for #<Puppet::Util::Settings:0xb71fb30c> It turns out that :initialize_everything_for_tests was recently added to Puppet itself: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/56c55d54474d97958f0f21e715237cf3f2117668 There are two problems here: 1) We have no current documentation or method of knowing which version of Puppet is required for a particular module. We tie to specific module versions but not to Puppet itself - anyone trying to test the latest puppetlabs-ntp against the most recently cut version of Puppet or PE will fail. 2) We should be iterating on modules much more quickly than we are on core, but this means that modules need to be slightly more backward-compatible - we can't rely on the "latest and greatest" stuff in master or 2.7.x if modules are going to be updated frequently. It might make more sense to move this type of function out to stdlib. Commenting out the lines calling this function in the spec_helper.rb make the problem go away, but I suspect we're going to run into a lot more of these if we don't figure out an approach to it. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
