I recommend looking at the existing spec tests.  Please also keep in mind that 
there is a module named `mount_providers` that splits apart the behaviors 
implemented in the core mount type into two distinct resources; the `mounttab` 
and `mountpoint` resources.  It might be easier to write tests against these 
new resource types because the concerns are a bit more cleanly separated out.

Do you think this patch is better suited for the 
[mount_providers](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-mount_providers/) 
module?

In any event, the examples at 
<https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-mount_providers/tree/master/spec/unit/provider/mountpoint>
 provide a good, up-to-date example of how to write tests for a platform 
specific provider such as `mount`.  I recommend using these RSpec tests as a 
starting point.

Hope this helps,
-Jeff

Bug #15837: [PATCH] Fix mount with options specified on Linux
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15837#change-78682

Author: Lubomir Rintel
Status: Tests Insufficient
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: mount
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18
Keywords: 
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1021


A hack around mount misbehavior on Mac OS X caused certain options to be set
redundantly, which is forbidden for some options on Linux; such as
"rootcontext".
