Puppet users - Jun 2014 - Breaking changes in Puppetlabs_spec_helper v0.5.0

Afternoon all,

Just thought I'd make the lists aware of an issue I hit with
puppetlabs_spec_helper v0.5.0 today.

It would appear that changes committed in [1] results in the dropping of
mocha as a dependency, and therefore any tests depending on mocha failing.
The error I was seeing was:

Failure/Error: Puppet::Type.type(:application).stubs(:defaultprovider).returns
described_class

NoMethodError:

undefined method `stubs' for Puppet::Type::Application:Class

# ./spec/unit/puppet/provider/application/asadmin_spec.rb:6
A work-around for me was to pin puppetlabs_spec_helper to v0.4.x. [2]

Hopefully this will prevent un-necessary time-wastage for anyone else :)

Also, as a general comment to PL - Is it possible to get some advance
notice of breaking changes such as this?
As this could potentially have been prevented by a release email stating
the breaking nature of the changes, and prompting users to ensure they are
pinning versions as appropriate.

Thanks for the assistance of igalic and _rc on #puppet-dev.

Cheers
Gavin
