More JSON factset tests

[yakatz]

This is a draft right now to experiment with various methods of factset normalization and validation

• Test for known IP address
• Test out json-schema testing

Copied from Slack:

I am trying to create a specification of what a factset in facterdb is expected to look like, as well as note some find-replace values to do things like clean up UUIDs and IP addresses (so other modules can depend on the values).

For validation, JSON-Schema is probably way more complex than necessary. We could create huge rspec tests directly on the values, but that it messy.
Neither of those options addresses the find-replace goal.

Any thoughts?

Did you ask the facter devs if they provide any schema?

[yakatz]

I am not really concerned about the validity of the schema overall, since most of them were generated by Facter (hopefully not modified by hand). I am looking for a way to enforce other changes that wouldn't be part of a facter json schema, for example, IP address always being the same, blanked out UUID values, etc. that would help make creating tests with factsets easier.

ah yes, makes sense. I also asked for a schema, so we can properly validate factsets: puppetlabs/facter#2730
