rspec-puppet doesn’t handle private classes well

[natemccurdy]

I have a lot of classes in modules that are marked private with assert_private().
When I convert those modules with pdk convert, tests fail because of that function.

I've had to add this stub to a lot of my spec tests so that even basic "it should compile" tests pass:

before(:each) do
  # Fake assert_private function from stdlib to not fail within this test
  Puppet::Parser::Functions.newfunction(:assert_private, :type => :rvalue) { |args| }
end

Can anything be done to make this more user friendly? Maybe rspec-puppet can intelligently stub that out behind the scenes or maybe PDK can insert that stub when converting a private class?

Should be easy enough to detect that function using the Puppet AST.
