puppetlabs/netdev_stdlib — version 0.23.0 Oct 10th 2019

Network Device Standard Library

Overview

This module implements the type specification for the network device support program. The goal of this module is to provide the Puppet types for writing provider implementations of these types for a specific network device model.

The modules supports legacy Puppet and Resource API versions of the types.

Both versions of the types perform the same in the catalog, but stricter type checking is enabled with RSAPI versions.

Only one version can be loaded into an environment at a time. On the master, RSAPI version of the types will always be loaded when Resource API gem is present. This will be the default behavior in future versions of Puppet.

On the agent, legacy types will be loaded if the operatingsystem is aristaeos or ios_xr, otherwise RSAPI version is loaded.

Reference Information

The following reference material is useful when developing providers for the types implemented in this module.

Getting Started for Development

This section describes how to get started developing providers for the types implemented in this module.

First, configure a Ruby development environment. There are multiple ways to accomplish this task including rvm, rbenv, and crossfader. This module has been developed using crossfader, a pre-packaged build of multiple Ruby versions specifically designed for developing and extending Puppet.

Install Crossfader

Please follow the Crossfader Quick Start instructions to get started with crossfader on Mac OS X.

Set the ruby environment

Once crossfader is installed, select the version of Ruby currently shipping with Puppet Enterprise. At the time of writing this is currently Ruby 1.9.3-p484. Information on the current version of Ruby shipping with Puppet Enterprise is available at Puppet Enterprise Software Components.

$ eval "$(crossfader --ruby 1.9.3-p484 --gemset netdev shellinit)"

Once initialized, verify the environment is using the specified version of ruby with the gem env command.

Test Driven Development

If the types are being changed, the spec tests may be automatically run in response to file system change events using guard.

$ bundle exec guard

Implementing a provider

For a platform named foo, the following section describes how to implement a module containing providers for the netdev_stdlib types.

The basic process for implementing providers for these types are as follows. First, create a parent directory for use as the module directory. This parent directory will contain the netdev_stdlib module and the netdev_stdlib_foo module. For example, /workspace/netdev/.

Clone the netdev_stdlib into the module directory, for example /workspace/netdev/netdev_stdlib and install dependencies using bundler as described in Getting Started for Development.

Generate the Provider Module

With a current working directory of the type module, generate the provider module using puppet module generate:

$ cd /workspace/netdev/netdev_stdlib/
$ bundle exec puppet module generate acme-netdev_stdlib_foo
We need to create a metadata.json file for this module.  Please answer the
following questions; if the question is not applicable to this module, feel free
to leave it blank.

Puppet uses Semantic Versioning (semver.org) to version modules.
What version is this module?  [0.1.0]
--> 0.1.0

Who wrote this module?  [acme]
--> acme

What license does this module code fall under?  [Apache 2.0]

Move the skeleton into the module directory:

$ mv acme-netdev_stdlib_foo ../netdev_stdlib_foo
$ cd ../netdev_stdlib_foo

Express the dependencies

The provider module has the same dependencies as the type module and so it is easiest to simply copy the dependency information from the netdev_stdlib type.

$ cp ../netdev_stdlib/{Gem,Guard}file .

Install the dependencies:

$ bundle install --path .bundle/gems/

Configure RSpec

Puppet Providers are generally tested with RSpec. Copy the spec helper, which initializes RSpec for module testing.

$ cp ../netdev_stdlib/spec/spec_helper.rb spec/

Remove the rspec-puppet generated example for a puppet class.

$ rm ./spec/classes/init_spec.rb

Test that rspec runs:

$ bundle exec rspec spec/
No examples found.
Finished in 0.00004 seconds
0 examples, 0 failures

Mocking

The device API used by the provider should be modeled as a utility class in PuppetX::NetDev::FooApi class, located at lib/puppet_x/net_dev/foo_api.rb. Instance methods of this API class are suitable for mocking network based API calls in the spec tests. For REST API's the response data from the resource request should be serialized into a fixtures directory. These fixtures are therefore able to be updated as API responses are changed or added over time.

For more information on rspec, please see https://github.com/rspec/rspec

      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
