bundle install --without development

Running syntax tests

bundle exec rake syntax
bundle exec rake lint
bundle exec rake metadata_lint

Running unit tests

bundle exec rake spec

Running acceptance tests

Acceptance tests (Beaker) can be executed using ./acceptance.sh. There is a matrix 1/8 to test this class under Centos 5/6/7, Debian 7/8/9 and Ubuntu 14.04/16.04.

If you want a detailed output, set this before run acceptance.sh

export BEAKER_debug=true

If you want to test a specific OS from our matrix

BEAKER_set=centos-5-x64 bundle exec rake beaker

Our matrix values

centos-5-x64
centos-6-x64
centos-7-x64
debian-7-x64
debian-8-x64
debian-9-x64
ubuntu-1404-x64
ubuntu-1604-x64

This matrix needs vagrant (>=2.0) and virtualbox (>=5.1) to work properly, make sure that you have both of them installed.
