beaker-puppet_install_helper

This gem is simply an abstraction for the various ways that we install puppet from the spec/spec_helper_acceptance.rb files across the modules.

The way to use this is to declare either run_puppet_install_helper() or run_puppet_install_helper_on(hosts) and set environment variables PUPPET_VERSION and/or PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE in the following combinations to have puppet installed on the desired hosts:

  • PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE is unset: it will look at the default node's type (ie, default.is_pe? and choose either foss or pe methods below.
  • PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE=pe will read PUPPET_VERSION and attempt to install that version of the PE tarball. If no version is set, then it uses the latest stable build.
  • PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE=foss will read PUPPET_VERSION and:
    • if PUPPET_VERSION is less than 4 will attempt to install that version of the system package if available, or else the ruby gem of that version.
    • if PUPPET_VERSION is 4 or more it will attempt to install the corresponding puppet-agent package, or gem version otherwise.
  • PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE=agent will read PUPPET_VERSION and install that version of puppet-agent (eg, PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE=agent PUPPET_VERSION=1.0.0)

The best way is explicitly set PUPPET_INSTALL_TYPE and PUPPET_VERSION to what you want. It'll probably do what you expect.
