My *type *file calls Puppet::Type.newtype() as you suggest, but the code
snippet you were referring to was for my *provider*, so I think
Puppet::Type.type(:myapp_config).provide
is correct here. The type/provider itself actually works. I have verified
that by actually using the module. I am in the process of writing tests for
modules where we did not do so before.
There are two providers for my type. One of them, the one showing this
error when running tests, manages an ini-style configuration file, so I
defined Puppet::Type.type(:ini_setting).provider(:ruby) as a parent
provider. That is part of the puppetlabs/inifile module. My test fails
because it doesnt seem to be able to find this? From what I can see,
Puppet::Type.type(:ini_setting).provider(:ruby) is nil when the test runs.
I included the inifile module in my .fixtures.yml but apparently that
doesnt fix it.
As for the facts, the test code I for testing this type/provider started
out as a copy and paste so I wont be able to deal with the facts until I
get past this issue, but to answer your question, one big issue I ran into
with PDK's default handling of facts is that it uses rspec-puppet-facts
which does not seem to support Solaris 10 anymore, or at least I hadnt
gotten it to work. So I have been having to keep Solaris 10 out of my
metadata.json file, even though it probably should be there as Solaris 10
is supported by Puppet in my version of PE (2017.3.5)
