hiera-backend-rspec

This gem provides a hiera backend for setting up hiera data in tests. At the time if this writing, hiera-backend-rspec is meant to interface with Hiera version 3.2.0.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hiera-backend-rspec'

And then run:

$ bundle install

Alternatively, if you wish to just use the gem in a script, you can run:

$ gem install hiera-backend-rspec

Finally, just add require 'hiera-backend-rspec' to the top of the file using this gem.

Put this into your spec_helper.rb:

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.before(:each) do
    Thread.current[:rspec_hiera_data] = hiera_data if respond_to?(:hiera_data)
  end
    
  c.after(:each) do
    Thread.current[:rspec_hiera_data] = nil
  end
end

In your specs you can now set up simple hiera data.

let(:hiera_data) do
  {
      'hiera::key' => 'value'
  }
end
