You don't actually need any of the helpers in rspec-puppet to test facts
with rspec.
In rspec, you would stub any facts that are required but not under test
with `allow(Facter.fact(:osfamily)).to
receive(:value).and_return("fakeosfamily")`, then stub any commands that
the fact that you're testing with `expect(Facter::Util::Resolution).to
receive(:exec).with("some command here").and_return("out that the command
would return")`
Then you can call `expect(Facter.fact(:myfact).value).to eq("factvalue")`
Eg, testing the root_home fact in stdlib:
