If you are writing acceptance tests for your SIMP module and using SIMP tooling, this guide will help you figure out what's going wrong.

Step-by-step guide

Run your acceptance tests. You can use rake -D acceptance and rake -D beaker to see all the variable available for acceptance testing.:
```
$ BEAKER_destroy=onpass rake acceptance # or whatever rake command you need
```
SSH into the created vagrant boxes and run the same manifests that beaker did:
1. Change into the directory containing the generated Vagrantfiles
```
$ cd .vagrant/beaker_vagrant_files/default.yml
```
2. Run vagrant status to find the names of generated VMs
```
$ vagrant status
Current machine states:

server                    running (virtualbox)
client                    running (virtualbox)

This environment represents multiple VMs. The VMs are all listed
above with their current state. For more information about a specific
VM, run `vagrant status NAME`.
```
3. As vagrant user, SSH from the host machine into a VM listed in the output of the vagrant status command
```
$ vagrant ssh server
```
4. On the VM, become root
```
$ sudo -s
```
5. To examine the applied manifests, change to the /tmp directory
```
# cd /tmp
```
6. Find the manifests and apply them manually with puppet apply
```
# ls
apply_manifest.pp.yo1P5i
# puppet apply apply_manifest.pp.yo1P5i
```
7. When you are done debugging, exit out of your SSH session and destroy the VMs
```
# exit
$ exit
$ vagrant destroy
```
