Test Generation

Creating a bunch of files manually is an error prone and tedious operation so PDQTest can generate files and boilerplate code for you so that your up and running in the quickest time possible.

Acceptance tests

Generate boilerplate files for each example found (including those without a magic marker):

pdqtest generate_acceptance

Generate boilerplate files for one specific example:

pdqtest generate_acceptance examples/mynewthing.pp

This will also create examples/mynewthing.pp if you haven't created it yet.

RSpec tests

PDQTest < 2.0 includes rspec test generation. This functionality is replaced by PDK in later versions:

pdk new class

Generates Puppet classes and RSpec tests

Other files

You should investigate PDK for generating more boiler plate code for things like types/providers, defined resources, etc.
