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

pdk test unit --tests=./spec/classes/opencv_spec.rb

custom_module/manifests/linux/opencv.pp

class payback_mobile::linux::opencv {

  file { '/usr/lib/node_modules':
    ensure => 'directory',
    owner  => root,
    group  => root,
    mode   => '0777',
  }

  -> package { 'cmake':
    ensure => present,
  }

  -> package { 'opencv4nodejs':
    ensure   => present,
    provider => npm,
    require  => Class['nodejs'],
  }
}

custom_module/spec/classes/opencv_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'

describe 'custom_module::linux::opencv' do
  let(:pre_condition) { 'include nodejs' }

I decided to add the nodejs packages in hieradata with nodejs::npm

This is a problem with the tests in your custom_module. If you use on_supported_os.each do |os, facts| et cetera, from https://github.com/mcanevet/rspec-puppet-facts like we do with @voxpupuli modules, you won't have this problem because you'll have all of the modern OS facts defined.
