Beaker::I18nHelper

This gem provides some helper methods for testing i18n and l10n with Beaker.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'beaker-i18n_helper'

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install beaker-i18n_helper

In your spec_helper_acceptance, you may use it like:

c.before :suite do
  hosts.each do |host|
    # Required for binding tests.
    if fact('osfamily') == 'Debian'
      #install language pack on debian systems
      install_language_on(host, "ja_JP.utf-8")
    end
    if fact('osfamily') == 'RedHat'
      if fact('operatingsystemmajrelease') =~ /7/ || fact('operatingsystem') =~ /Fedora/
        shell("yum install -y bzip2")
      end
    end
    #set language
    change_locale_on(host, "ja_JP.utf-8")
    on host, puppet('module', 'install', 'stahnma/epel')
  end
end

Uses Beaker's install_package to install a language pack for the desired language. Takes a hosts array and lang, a POSIX locale identifier ([lang]_[region].[charset])

install_language_on(hosts, 'ja_JP.utf-8')

Usually only needed for Debian systems, RHEL installs all language packs by default.

Takes in a POSIX locale identifier, lang, and sets $LANG, $LANGUAGE, and on the target hosts to #{lang}.

change_locale_on(hosts, "de_DE.utf-8")

So far, this helper has only been tested for use with Debian and RedHat hosts.

PRs welcome!

You can run unit tests with rspec

$ rspec spec/beaker/i18n_helper_spec.rb

You can run acceptance tests with rspec, too, plus a little Beaker sugar:

$ BEAKER_provision=yes BEAKER_set=default rspec spec/acceptance
