The behavior without this patch applied is that the rspec tests do not
function with Puppet 2.6.4. This patch back-ports some fixes introduced
in Puppet 2.7.x to the spec_helper to make the tests work as expected on
Puppet 2.6.4.
The specific patches back ported from Puppet are:
* 2ae88067 (Puppet::Util::ExecutionStub.reset)
* cf183534 (Switched spec tests to use a class rather than Array as the
log destination.)
Without this patch applied, the stdlib module does not provide a
root_home fact. This fact is necessary to easily determine the root
account home directory on platforms Puppet is supported on.
The major variations this fact address are:
---
solaris: /
linux: /root
macosx: /var/root
Spec tests using rspec have been provided as well to cover these three
general cases. Windows tests are marked as pending.
It was decided that maintaining puppetlabs-functions and
puppetlabs-stdlib was duplication as both are trying to
achieve the same goal.
This patch provides a merge of the puppetlabs-functions
into the puppetlabs-stdlib repository, with history
preservation.
The following conflicts were found and resolved:
* LICENSE file from functions was used as it aligns with
ASL usage instructions and contains relevant copyright
information:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html
* Used spec_helper.rb from functions - this is what
Puppet core uses and doesn't break tests.
* Merged .gitignore and spec.opts options.
