[chef] Re: ChefSpec included recipe resources

[Sean OMeara < >]

ChefSpec just makes assertions about the compiled resource_collection.

Since include_recipe compiles the requested recipes, rewriting the specs for those is redundant.

This should be enough

https://github.com/sethvargo/chefspec/blob/master/examples/include_recipe/spec/default_spec.rb

Unfortunately, due to the way Chef works, you won't have %100 ChefSpec code coverage unless you go and restate yourself.

As for package vs yum_package, that's a Chef version specific detail, that ChefSpec can't really do much about.

Hi,

I have a cookbook that has a few recipes, so of them install packages using the package resource.

I have ChefSpec tests for each of these individual recipes that check that the package resource is doing something. All is well.

I also have a default recipe in this cookbook that includes some of the other recipes in the cookbook, including ones that have a package resource. In fact that's all that recipe does (include_recipe) so in my ChefSpec tests for that recipe I just check for the includes.

When looking at the code coverage reports from ChefSpec they're saying there's a bunch of yum_package resources that are not being touched, which match up to the package resources in the other recipes. At no place do I actually use a yum_package resource.

Why is this specifying yum_package instead of using the package resource and check? Can I make it not do this?
