Defined in:

Overview

This class is intended to provide an API to be used by external projects

when they are running tests that depend on puppet core.  This should
allow us to vary the implementation details of managing puppet's state
for testing, from one version of puppet to the next--without forcing
the external projects to do any of that state management or be aware of
the implementation details.

For now, this consists of a few very simple signatures. The plan is

that it should be the responsibility of the puppetlabs_spec_helper
to broker between external projects and this API; thus, if any
hacks are required (e.g. to determine whether or not a particular)
version of puppet supports this API, those hacks will be consolidated in
one place and won't need to be duplicated in every external project.

This should also alleviate the anti-pattern that we’ve been following,

wherein each external project starts off with a copy of puppet core's
test_helper.rb and is exposed to risk of that code getting out of
sync with core.

Since this class will be “library code” that ships with puppet, it does

not use API from any existing test framework such as rspec.  This should
theoretically allow it to be used with other unit test frameworks in the
future, if desired.

Note that in the future this API could potentially be expanded to handle

other features such as "around_test", but we didn't see a compelling
reason to deal with that right now.

  # To make things worse, a number of the tests stub parts of the
