It's great to hear you got it all working. I agree that it can be difficult
figuring out when things are truly equal - I recommend using something like:
Puppet.debug "property value is #{output.inspect}, should be
#{@resource[:value].inspect}"
The 'inspect' calls will make sure you know exactly what you have - whether
it's a string, symbol, boolean, etc. You can still be confused with quoting
sometimes, but it's usually much clearer this way.
You can set a custom message with the change_to_s method; see exec.rb for an
example.
