How to enable Puppet's debug logging level from Beaker


I have some beaker-rspec acceptance tests covering a Puppet module I am creating, and would like to know how to enable debug logging on the underlying Puppet calls (e.g., know exactly what happens when I call apply_manifest). I'm pretty sure I've been been able to get debug logging working on Beaker itself (export BEAKER_debug=yes?), but that only seems to tell me what Beaker is doing, not necessarily Puppet.

If it helps, here are some relevant file snippets:

spec/fixtures/spec_helper_acceptance.rb

require 'beaker-rspec/spec_helper'
require 'beaker-rspec/helpers/serverspec'
require 'beaker/librarian'

RSpec.configure do |c|
  module_root = File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..'))

  c.formatter = :documentation

  # Configure all nodes in nodeset
  c.before :suite do
    install_puppet
    install_librarian
    librarian_install_modules(module_root, 'mymodule')
  end
end

spec/acceptance/example_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper_acceptance'

apply_manifest_opts = {
  :catch_failures => true,
  # I seem to need this otherwise Puppet doesn't pick up the required modules.
  # Is this where I can also enable debug logging in Puppet? 
  :modulepath     => '/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/',
}

default_pp = <<-EOS
  class { 'mymodule': }
EOS

describe 'the mymodule class' do
  describe 'given default params' do
    it 'should return successfully' do
      expect(apply_manifest(default_pp, apply_manifest_opts).exit_code).to be_zero
    end
  end
end

I'm actually trying to work out why the the mymodule class given default params should return successfully test fails, but at the moment I only get

Failure/Error: expect(apply_manifest(default_pp, apply_manifest_opts).exit_code).to be_zero
       expected `2.zero?` to return true, got false

which is not much help. Do you see my problem?

I'll accept responses that either answer my question directly, or give me some other way to work out why the exit code is non-zero.


Solution

  • I was right on my hunch that it just needed an extra option supplied to apply_manifest. It just took me a while to work out exactly where the documentation was on how to do it.

    apply_manifest_opts = {
      :catch_failures => true,
      # I seem to need this otherwise Puppet doesn't pick up the required modules. 
      :modulepath     => '/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/',
      :debug          => true,
    }
