RSpec error if used with inifile >= 4.2.0

[atsonkov]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 7.12.0
• Ruby: 2.7.3
• Distribution: RHEL 7 or 8
• Module version: 7.0.0 (when used in combination with inifile-5.4.0, but any version of inifile after 4.1 should result in the same issue)

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

.fixtures.yml containing:

fixtures:
  forge_modules:
    inifile:
      repo: "puppetlabs/inifile"
      ref: "5.4.0"
    rundeck:
      repo: "puppet/rundeck"
      ref: "7.0.0"

RSpec test containing:

  it { is_expected.to compile }

What are you seeing

Error in the rspec test when trying to compile catalog with certain combination of module versions.

What behavior did you expect instead

The module including compatible versions of rundeck and inifile should compile without issues.
