AerisCloud Kitchen Setup

This is a template as well as a set of Docker images for using kitchen with Ansible. To use it just copy the content of the template directory into your role's folder and edit the following files:

test/integration/default/default.yml

This is where you run the role, if you need to run any dependency or do any pre/post task this is where you should do it.

test/integration/default/serverspec/default_spec.rb

This is the serverspec file, and where you type your tests. For more details about the available resources, see http://serverspec.org/resource_types.html

.kitchen.yml

Optional, but if the role doesn't support an operating system, you can remove it from the platforms array. If you need to add a platform, make sure to point the start command to the operating system's init.

Requirements

• Docker
• Ruby

Tested OS

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Centos 7.4
• Debian 8
• Debian 9

Installing kitchen

The recommended way is to install RVM then run bundle install from your role's folder. If your RVM is configured properly the kitchen should now be available on your command-line.

Usage

Working on all containers

# Create the containers and do the initial provisioning
$ kitchen setup
# Once your tests are ready
$ kitchen verify
# Once you are done
$ kitchen destroy

Working a single container

# List the available containers
$ kitchen list
# Run the commands above while specifying the target container
$ kitchen setup default-debian-9
$ kitchen converge default-debian-9
