Test Kitchen - UTF-8 Drivers Fork

This is a fork of v1.2.1 of the test-kitchen gem that includes a trivial patch to address test-kitchen#485

It's particularly useful if you're using the kitchen-vagrant driver, with Vagrant's vagrant-lxc provider, and Vagrant baseboxes from vagrant-lxc-base-boxes (which have unicode characters in the baseboxes metadata.json), but it might help in any circumstance where kitchen is calling a driver via Kitchen::Driver::Base#run_command and causing character encoding problems by forcing the locale of the driver to be 'C', and by implication causing Encoding.default_external and the character set of File.read() to be US-ASCII instead of UTF-8.

Usage Via Bundler

In your Gemfile, replace:

gem 'test-kitchen'

with:

gem 'test-kitchen',
  github: 'mikelococo/test-kitchen-utf8-drivers',
  branch: 'utf8-drivers'

Then bundle install and run kitchen as per normal.
