Sample beaker-rspec test

# The test manifest should be a manifest in the tests directory of your module,
# which declares the class you want to include (e.g. include my_class)
test_manifest = "#{module_path}/tests/init.pp"

# Use puppet_module_install to scp the module directory from the host into the modulepath on the target VM
# NOTE: puppet_module_install is defined in beaker-rspec:
#       https://github.com/puppetlabs/beaker-rspec/blob/master/lib/beaker-rspec/beaker_shim.rb
# The module name is the base name of the module directory with any leading namespace identifier removed
# e.g. gsarjeant-awesomemodule would become awesomemodule
puppet_module_install(:source => module_path, :module_name => module_name)

# Read the manifest we want to apply from the module into a variable
manifest = File.open(test_manifest).read

# Apply the solution manifest and verify that it runs cleanly.
# The "a solution manifest" shared example group is  defined in
#   spec/solution_manifest_spec.rb (included by spec_helper_acceptance)
# We pass the manifest under test to this group with the "let(:manifest) { solution_manifest }" declaration
# See https://gist.github.com/gsarjeant/a2807aba13f2cd326ee4 for an example

# We've now used the beaker functionality to install the module on a target node.
# From this point, serverspec takes over to verify the state of the system.

# Change the tests below to verify the functionality of the module that you are testing
