is there a way to execute only r10k step when running onceover #286

Hi,

I am new to onceover and puppet but I am working on testing a control repo with 50+ roles.

I want to trigger onceover from a Azure Devops build, but since I cannot use --parallel (there is already an issue opened on this), I split onceover.yaml in several files and I try to run them in parallel. In order to shortened the test execution, I want to download all the needed modules on a single location, and then run several onceover instances (with puppet/puppet-dev-tools docker image) that point to that location.

Is there a way to have onceover only downloading the modules ( to make this a first step in the build)?

I tried to download them with a r10k command, but for some reason the execution of onceover afterwards fails.

As a workaround, currently I am executing onceover with a file having no classes defined.

Regards, John

Hey! The easitest way would be to define some tags that dont exist i.e. --tags donttestanythingplease. That way it won't match any tests and nothing will run, but r10k will still run

I'm going to close this as I'm pretty certain it works for what you need here. But feel free to comment if that's not the case

Thank you, in the meantime my workaround was to use an onceover.yaml file with no classes to test.
