SIMP puppet module skeleton

This is a very opinionated Puppet module skeleton, forked from the fantastic garethr/puppet-module-skeleton. It provides a template for the puppet module generate tool to generate new modules targeted toward inclusion with SIMP, a compliance-management framework built on Puppet.

Usage

Now, just generate your new module structure like so:

rake generate[module_name]

Once you have your module then install the development dependencies:

cd user-module
bundle install

Rake tasks

Now you should have a bunch of rake commands to help with your module development:

rake acceptance                                # Run acceptance tests
rake beaker                                    # Run beaker acceptance tests
rake beaker:run[nodeset]                       # Run a Beaker test against a specific Nod...
rake beaker_nodes                              # List available beaker nodesets
rake build                                     # Build puppet module package
rake clean                                     # Clean a built module package / Remove an...
rake clobber                                   # Remove any generated file / Clobber buil...
rake contributors                              # Populate CONTRIBUTORS file
rake coverage                                  # Generate code coverage information
rake help                                      # Display the list of available rake tasks
rake lint                                      # Run puppet-lint
rake metadata                                  # Validate metadata.json file
rake pkg:rpm[chroot,unique,snapshot_release]   # Build the pupmod-simp-simplib RPM
rake pkg:scrub[chroot,unique]                  # Scrub the pupmod-simp-simplib mock build...
rake pkg:srpm[chroot,unique,snapshot_release]  # Build the pupmod-simp-simplib SRPM
rake pkg:tar[snapshot_release]                 # Build the pupmod-simp-simplib tar package
rake spec                                      # Run spec tests in a clean fixtures direc...
rake spec_clean                                # Clean up the fixtures directory
rake spec_prep                                 # Create the fixtures directory
rake spec_standalone                           # Run spec tests on an existing fixtures d...
rake syntax                                    # Syntax check Puppet manifests and templates
rake syntax:hiera                              # Syntax check Hiera config files
rake syntax:manifests                          # Syntax check Puppet manifests
rake syntax:templates                          # Syntax check Puppet templates
rake test                                      # Run syntax, lint, and spec tests
rake validate                                  # Check syntax of Ruby files and call :syn...

Of particular interest should be:

• rake acceptance - run acceptance tests
• rake spec - run unit tests
• rake test - run syntax, lint, and unit tests, and validate metadata
• rake lint - checks against the puppet style guide
• rake syntax - to check your have valid puppet and erb syntax

Thanks

• This module was forked from the garethr/puppet-module-skeleton.
• A few other bits came from another excellent module skeleton from spiette.
