Takashi Kajinami e9aac0c609 Drop description about beaker
We replaced beaker by litmus during Victoria cycle. Victoria and older
releases were already marked EOL, so we have no open branch using
beaker now.

Testing
=======
Testing is required for all new code. If you want to contribute, but are
unfamiliar with the tests we use, take the time to visit the `Unit Tests`_
and `Functional Tests`_ sections and the |ci|_ documentation.
Puppet OpenStack CI will verify your changes, but to save time it is
better to run tests locally before submitting the patch.
.. _ci: /contributor/ci.html
.. |ci| replace:: Continuous Integration
Unit Tests
==========
Unit tests are written in ruby, so you need to be familiar with RSpec. Below
you can find useful commands to test your code.
Running RSpec
-------------
The following command can be invoked in any module directories to run their
RSpec tests (|lint|_, |syntax|_, spec, acceptance, etc). It assumes that both
bundler as well as rubygems (and ruby) are already installed on the system.
.. _lint: http://puppet-lint.com/
.. _syntax: https://puppetlabs.com/blog/verifying-puppet-checking-syntax-and-writing-automated-tests
.. |lint| replace:: *lint*
.. |syntax| replace:: *syntax*
.. code-block:: bash
bundle install --path ~/vendor/bundle # install all deps in ~/vendor/bundle
bundle exec rake lint # Run puppet-lint
bundle exec rake syntax # Syntax check Puppet manifests and templates
bundle exec rake spec # Run spec tests in a clean fixtures directory
bundle exec rake acceptance # Run acceptance tests
This relies on the Puppetfile to install all of the external modules
required for testing. The url in this file uses the git:// protocol, so this
may need to be updated if you are behind a proxy.
Please note you might need to install some system dependencies in order to
allow bundle to install the gems.
.. note::
The ~/vendor/bundle directory will contain all the dependencies, and can be shared with
multiple projects. Doing so avoids duplication.
In case you don't want shared libraries, please do the following::
mkdir vendor
export GEM_HOME=vendor
bundle install
.. note::
Be advised that your local run can be successful and you can get a -1 from
Jenkins, because you only run the tests for your Operating System Family.
Tiny trick for RSpec
--------------------
You might find the time really long while running the tests. Part of the time is
due to the collection of the required puppet modules for the tests. The cache
directory is cleaned after each (successful) run, and if you're doing multiple changes
with an RSpec run between each, you'd want to keep that cache. This can be done like
that:
.. code-block:: bash
bundle exec rake spec_prep # download all the dependencies
bundle exec rake spec_standalone # actually run the test and keep cached modules
The modules are downloaded and cached in the *spec/fixtures/modules/* directory
The best reference for getting started with rspec-puppet can be found here_.

Functional Tests
================
We use litmus to run functional tests. See `the litmus documentation
<https://puppetlabs.github.io/litmus/>__` to find its details.
