Fauxbag

Adds load_databag_json support method to use with Data Bags and ChefSpec

Installation and Configuration

Add this line to your Gemfile:

  gem 'fauxbag'

And then execute:

  $ bundle

Include fauxbag in your spec_helper.rb file.

# mycookbook/spec/spec_helper.rb
require 'fauxbag'

Usage

The expected location for data bag items is a data_bags folder in the spec directory:

spec/data_bags/data_bag_name/data_bag_item.json

Methods

load_databag_item

The load_databag_item method requires the arguments of the data_bag_name folder and the data_bag_item without the .json:

load_databag_json(data_bag_name, data_bag_item)

load_chefzero_databag

The load_chefzero_databag method requires the data bag group (such as users) and returns all items as a single hash to be used with Chef-Zero:

load_chefzero_databag(data_bag_name)

Example

The expected layout of your cookbook and data bag fixtures:

mycookbook
.
├── README.md
├── attributes
├── metadata.rb
├── recipes
│   └── default.rb
└── spec
    ├── data_bags
    │   └── users
    │       └── hansolo.json
    └── default_spec.rb

Using the data_bag fixtures:

# mycookbook/spec/default_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'

describe 'mycookbook::default' do
  it "installs something for all users" do
    # Loads JSON from mycookbook/spec/data_bags/users/hansolo.json
    fauxbag = load_databag_json('users', 'hansolo')
    stub_data_bag_item('users', 'hansolo').and_return(fauxbag)

    # ... rest of the spec test with expectation
  end
end
