Gem for miscellaneous actions based on Puppetfiles.

gem install puppetfiler

gem 'puppetfiler'

A puppetfile can be specified via -p path/to/pf or --puppetfile path/to/pf, a metadata file via -m path/to/metadata.json or --metadata path/to/metadata.json.

If neither are specified puppetfiler will check for a file named Puppetfile in the current working directory first, then for a file named metadata.json.

Check puppet forge for newer versions of used forge modules. For Puppetfiles the currently set version on newest on the forge are compared. For metadata.json puppetfiler checks that the newest version on the forge is covered by the range constraint.

$ puppetfiler check
module               current  newest
puppetlabs/stdlib    4.13.1   4.15.0
puppetlabs/firewall  1.8.1    1.8.2

Be aware that the check command may take a while, since each module has to be queried from the forge.

Create puppetlabs_spec_helper compatible .fixtures.yml.

$ puppetfiler fixture
$ cat .fixtures.yml
---
fixtures:
  forge_modules:
stdlib:
  repo: puppetlabs/stdlib
  ref: 4.13.1
firewall:
  repo: puppetlabs/firewall
  ref: 1.8.1

Without modifying the result:

require 'puppetfiler/rake_tasks'

Which adds the task fixture, which is equivalent to runnning puppetfiler fixture.

With modifying the result:

require 'puppetfiler'

desc 'Generate .fixtures.yml'
task :fixture do
    modifier = {
        'forge_modules' => {
            /.*/ => {
                'flags' => '--module_repository https://inhouse.forge.lan/',
            },
        },
    }

    Puppetfiler.fixture(modifier)
end

task :spec => [:fixtures]
task :test do
    [:metadata_lint, :lint, :validate, :spec].each do |test|
        Rake::Task[test].invoke
    end
end

Allowed keys in the passed modifiers are 'forge_modules' and 'repositories', which are hashes with strings or regular expressions as keys and hashes or strings as values.

Also see the rspec test takes a hash with pattern matches and returns fixtures as a hash in spec/puppetfiler/puppetfile_spec.rb.
