[chef] Re: Can I expose a ChefSpec stub to all cookbooks' tests?

[Ranjib Dey < >]

morning,

you can move the stubs in a helper module. and include that module via rspec's configuration in your spec_helper. You can then choose to invoke them before all or case by case basis,

e.g

https://gist.github.com/ranjib/ba31fcab137c2ad23fc0

happy testing,

ranjib

p.s. you can raise these questions in chef-testing mailing list or chefspec github repo as well :-)

I have cookbooks that run shell commands (via `execute` or `not_if` blocks), which ChefSpec predictably complains need to be stubbed. These cookbooks are included in many places, and I wind up copy/pasting a stub into a `before` block in the tests of many other cookbooks that include the offending cookbook even as a dependency of a dependency of a dependency.

Can I somehow stub these shell commands right in the cookbook that issues them, such that ChefSpec tests for any other cookbook will pick up the stubs?
