YAML Overview
The
.kitchen.yml
configuration file used to configure Test Kitchen is in the YAML file
format. YAML is a recursive acronym that stands for
YAML Ain't Markup Language
. A se-
quence of three hyphens (---) denote the beginning of a YAML document, so you'll see this
at the beginning of every
.kitchen.yml
file. Comments are indicated by the hash symbol (#),
just like in Ruby. Space and indentation matter in a YAML file. Tab characters should never
be used in a YAML file, only spaces.
YAML files work with two fundamental kinds of a data:
▪ Key-value pair
▪ List
A key-value pair has the form
<key>: <value>
like:
name
:
vagrant
The space after the colon is required. The value for
name
is
vagrant
. The value
vagrant
can
be looked up by the
name
key.
Key-value pairs can be nested, so that the value for a key is another key-value pair. When a
key-value pair is nested, the value portion for the parent is written on separate lines, indented
by at least one space. For example:
