What is This?

Patterns for best-use solutions to (not so) common problems

How do i set persistent environment variables on a SUT, such as PATH?

    host.add_env_var('PATH', '/opt/puppetlabs/bin:$PATH')

How do i run commands on a SUT as a non-root user?

(warning) this should be abstracted into a beaker helper, or part of on(): BKR-168 - Beaker::DSL::Helpers needs "as" method READY FOR ENGINEERING

Create the user, then su with --command:

    on(host, puppet("resource user #{username} ensure=present managehome-true"))
    on(host, "su #{username} --command '#{command}'")
