[chef] Mocking ChefSpec to contains recipes?

[Arnold Krille < >]

Hi all,

I am trying to write chefspec tests for my backuppc-recipes. As this recipe 
should be as much self-configuring as possible, the backup client already 
detects when the node has (for example) the mysql::server recipe applied and 
then installes automysqlbackup and adds the necessary directories to the 
paths-to-backup.
That is actually working well, but now I want to write a chefspec for that. I 
have:

require 'chefspec'

describe 'backuppc::client' do
  it "should add automysqlbackup when mysql-server-cookbook is on the node" do

    chef_run = ChefSpec::ChefRunner.new(
        :platform => 'ubuntu',
        :version => '12.04',
        :step_into => ['backuppc_sshkey']
    ) do |node|
      node.set['cpu']['total'] = 1
      node.set['recipes'] = ['mysql::server']
    end
    chef_run.converge 'backuppc::client'

    chef_run.should upgrade_package 'automysqlbackup'

  end
end

But that test fails. How can I get chefspec/fauxhai to pretend that there are 
other recipes already applied to the node?

Have fun,

Arnold
