example

This is a simple cookbook that depends on a resource cookbook called example_resources, which defines a simple Chef resource.

The purpose of this cookbook is to illustrate the relationship between a cookbook that defines a new Chef resource, and another cookbook that consumes it.

Integration tests are in InSpec. Unit tests are in ChefSpec.

To test

1. Install bundled gems using Bundler in context of ChefDK
2. Converge in context of Bundler and ChefDK
3. Verify in context of Bundler and ChefDK

$ chef exec bundle install
$ chef exec bundle exec kitchen converge
$ chef exec bundle exec kitchen verify

Gemfile

Currently ChefDK provides Test Kitchen 1.5.0 which doesn't play nice with InSpec.

Note how I lock gem versions using the Gemfile. Run your tests in the context of these Gemfile locks, otherwise you will likely see problems [at the time of this writing].

This is because ChefDK does a shim thing and locks Test Kitchen to 1.5.0, so I use a Gemfile to lock to Test Kitchen 1.6.0.

The ChefDK shim looks like this for ChefDK 0.15.2 on OS X:

$ cat /opt/chefdk/bin/kitchen
#!/opt/chefdk/embedded/bin/ruby
#--APP_BUNDLER_BINSTUB_FORMAT_VERSION=1--
ENV["GEM_HOME"] = ENV["GEM_PATH"] = nil unless ENV["APPBUNDLER_ALLOW_RVM"] == "true"
gem "chef-config", "= 12.7.2"
gem "mixlib-config", "= 2.2.1"
gem "mixlib-shellout", "= 2.2.6"
gem "mixlib-install", "= 0.7.1"
gem "net-scp", "= 1.2.1"
gem "net-ssh", "= 3.0.2"
gem "safe_yaml", "= 1.0.4"
gem "thor", "= 0.19.1"
gem "test-kitchen", "= 1.5.0"

spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_name("test-kitchen", "= 1.5.0")
bin_file = spec.bin_file("kitchen")
