Any tests with `apply_manifest` or the like would need to be separate from any assertions. Perhaps even in separate test files, as `rspec` can take a list of *_spec.rb files to run, and you could run something like `rspec spec/acceptance/1_puppet_apply/ spec/acceptance/2_assert/` under normal testing circumstances, and `rspec spec/acceptance/2_assert/` when you only want to run your assertions. > > Is it somehow possible to do this with beaker-rspec? > Also, I would like to point out that your use case is EXACTLY what http://serverspec.org/ is created to do: assertions without modifying the system. Serverspec is included with beaker-rspec, but perhaps it would be better to just skip the beaker part altogether on the live systems, but use it to configure the test systems as described above with the 1_* 2_* directories? > > - Thomas > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/puppet-users/3991f661-8891-4adf-8b7e-a7d01b92bbbe%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/puppet-users/3991f661-8891-4adf-8b7e-a7d01b92bbbe%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
