Test Kitchen and Chef Zero
Generate a cookbook named
zero
with
chef generate cookbook
or
knife cookbook
create
, depending on whether you are using the Chef Development Kit or the Chef Client
respectively. Also, enable the cookbook to use Test Kitchen. We're going to go through the
cookbook creation steps quickly in this chapter. If you need a refresher on what each of these
Chef Development Kit:
$
chef generate cookbook zero
$
cd zero
Chef Client:
$
knife cookbook create zero --cookbook-path .
$
cd zero
$
kitchen init --create-gemfile
$
bundle install
Edit the
provisioner:
stanza in the generated
.kitchen.yml
to use
chef_zero
. As of this
writing,
chef_zero
is not the default provisioner, but it might be by the time you read this.
Also, edit the
.kitchen.yml
file to use the CentOS 6.5 basebox we prepared specifically for
this topic. Next, assign a private network address like we did in
Chapter 7
. This time, we're
going to use the IP address 192.168.33.34. If this conflicts with an address already being
used on your local network, change it to be a nonconflicting one.
