We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of

hello_world

This 'hello world' module has been written as a demonstration of how to write a puppet 5 module which includes a full set of testing.

It has been built using the Puppet Development Kit (PDK) and was created using the following commands:

pdk new module hello_world

pdk new class hello_world

This will create the basic module with a single (empty) class and all of the required files and configuration for the module, this will inculde basic testing, travel and gitlab ci based configuration and much more.

The default directory structure that is generated is:

.
├── examples
├── files
├── manifests
├── spec
│   └── classes
├── tasks
└── templates

The default rake configuration that is generated is:

Additional configuration was then added to allow for unit and integration testing, all of which can be run from rake.

Purely for demonstration purposes beaker tests have been added using both vagrant and docker, whereas in normal circumstances you would most likely select one of these for your testing.

Managing your module going forward will not be covered in this demo, how you manage your code, and how you test/release the module is beyond the scope of this project, this is a simple demo of a puppet 5 module with minimal testing (unit / integration) to use a reference or starting point for writing your own modules.
