### Specifying facts

By default, the test environment contains only the `hostname`, `domain`, and
`fqdn` facts (determined by the FQDN of the test node). Additional facts can be
specified as a hash of values using `let(:facts)`.

{% highlight ruby %}
let(:facts) { {'operatingsystem' => 'Debian', 'ipaddress' => '192.168.0.1'} }
{% endhighlight %}

Facts may be expressed as a value (shown in the previous example) or
a structure. Fact keys may be expressed as symbols or strings, and will be
converted to a lower case string to align with the Facter standard.

{% highlight ruby %}
let(:facts) do
  {
    'os' => {
      'family'  => 'RedHat',
      'release' => {
        'major' => '7',
        'minor' => '1',
        'full'  => '7.1.1503',
      }
    }
  }
end
{% endhighlight %}

These facts will be merged into the default facts (if set), with these values
taking precedence over the default fact values in the event of a conflict.

If have nested RSpec contexts to test the behaviour of different fact
values, you can partially override the parent facts by merging the changed
facts into `super()` in your `let(:facts)` block.

{% highlight ruby %}
describe 'My::Class' do
  let(:facts) do
    {
      'operatingsystem' => 'Debian',
      'role'            => 'default',
    }
  end

  context 'with role => web' do
    let(:facts) do
      super().merge({ 'role' => 'web' })
    end

    it { should compile }
  end
end
{% endhighlight %}

A common pattern is to use <a href="https://github.com/mcanevet/rspec-puppet-facts">rspec-puppet-facts</a> to automatically populate the facts for a specified operating system. Please read the <a href="https://github.com/mcanevet/rspec-puppet-facts/blob/master/README.md">rspec-puppet-facts documentation</a> for more information.

### Specifying trusted facts

When testing with Puppet >= 4.3, the trusted facts hash will have the standard
trusted facts (`certname`, `domain`, and `hostname`) populated based on the
node name. Those elements can only be set with the `let(:node)`, not with this
structure.

By default, the test environment contains no custom trusted facts (usually
obtained from certificate extensions) and found in the `extensions` key. If the
manifest being tested depends on the values from specific custom certificate
extensions, they can be specified as a hash using `let(:trusted_facts)`.

{% highlight ruby %}
let(:trusted_facts) { {'pp_uuid' => '012345670-ABCD', 'some' => 'value'} }
{% endhighlight %}

These trusted facts will be merged into the default trusted facts (if set),
with these values taking precedence over the default trusted facts in the event
of a conflict.

If have nested RSpec contexts to test the behaviour of different trusted fact
values, you can partially override the parent trusted facts by merging the
changed facts into `super()` in your `let(:trusted_facts)` block.

{% highlight ruby %}
describe 'My::Class' do
  let(:trusted_facts) do
    {
      'some_common_param' => 'value'
      'role'              => 'default',
    }
  end

  context 'with role => web' do
    let(:trusted_facts) do
      super().merge({ 'role' => 'web' })
    end

    it { should compile }
  end
end
{% endhighlight %}
