This is related to https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/3443.
The piece that's important here is the definition of #trusted. That may
need to be stubbed so that it returns true (or false, it's worth testing
both cases in a spec test) to get the behavior you want.
One technique we often use is, when we have to call executables, wrapping
those calls in their own method so it can be stubbed. For example, you
might write
def exec_getprpw(user):
%x(/usr/lbin/getprpw #{user} 2>&1)
end
then in the test
provider.stubs(:exec_getprpw).with('root').returns('Some text')
This simulates the call to getprpw without having a dependency on a
particular OS.
