Puppet users - Sep 2013 - questions about verifying template paths and variables with rspec

Hi,

How can I verify the template exists in the given path?  Example,

Given the following in my manifest:

if $somevar == ''true'' {
	$templatefile=''mymodule/mytemplate.xml.erb''
}
else {
	$templatefile=''mymodule/mytemplate2.xml.erb''
}
file{"somefile.txt":
	ensure => present,
	content => template($templatefile)
}


How can I test that the template file exists in the given module path?

File.exists?("../../../#{templatefile}").should be_true ???

Additionally can I test if the variable $templatefile or $somevar is correct and
my logic is sane.  Is there a way to retrieve the manifest variables within spec
tests?

example:

	$somevar.should eq(''true'') ???

I''m not sure how this would fit into rspec, but in my manifests I use a
function
to verify templates.  Perhaps pieces of this could be adapted for your purpose.

$ cat is_template.rb
#
# adapted from has_template from https://github.com/windowsrefund/puppet-tools
#
Puppet::Parser::Functions::newfunction(
  :is_template,
  :type => :rvalue,
  :doc => "Returns true if argument translates to a valid
template.") do |args|

  require ''rubygems''
  require ''puppet''

  if value =
Puppet::Parser::Files.find_template(args[0],lookupvar(''environment''))
    return FileTest.exist?(value)
  end

  nil

end
