Puppet users - Apr 2010 - behavioural testing of puppet manifests with cucumber-puppet

Hi,

I''d like to announce a little tool I have written, called cucumber-
puppet. It supports writing behavioural tests for your puppet
manifest, using cucumber. This allows for BDD-style manifest
development and fearless refactorings.

Let me know what you think!

cheers,

Nikolay

Wow.  Awesome.  Only comment I''d make - and it''s more a
suggestion than
a critique - is that it''d be great to be able to bundle the features
inside modules to aid in portability.

Hi Nikolay,

This is an excellent piece of work. I''ve just check out your latest
updates and I''m keen to start working with cucumber-puppet.

I have one question. Can you access puppet variables and facts in the
cucumber steps?

A simplistic example would be:

node default {
    $nameserver = ''1.1.1.1''
    include dns-client
}

Can I get the value of $nameserver in my step definitions?

regards

Matthew
