Support for Test Kitchen

[englishm]

It would be really great if we could integrate infrataster with our existing test-kitchen-based tests.
We often use Test Kitchen with the kitchen-digitalocean driver so that we can launch tests in the cloud from a VM. Being able to run infrataster against that same instance would allow us to use infrataster as part of our existing CI system. Currently, I am only able to run infrataster tests locally where I have control over the IP address assigned to a VM (e.g. w/ Vagrant).

Thoughts?

@englishm Sorry for very late reply.
I think integrating Infrataster and Test Kitchen is very good idea.
You can run Infrataster against the same instance like the following:

Infrataster::Server.define(
  :web,
  '127.0.0.1',
)

@englishm I tested @ryotarai suggestion and it works just fine.

Add a Gemfile to test/integration/default/serverspec with the following content:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'infrataster'

Add to your spec_helper.rb the above mentioned code. Here is an example of mine:

require 'serverspec'
require 'infrataster/rspec'

set :backend, :exec

Infrataster::Server.define(:app, '127.0.0.1')

Start writing your tests along with your serverspecs. Example

require 'spec_helper'

(9000..9002).each do |port|
  describe port(port) do
    it { should be_listening.on('127.0.0.1').with('tcp') }
  end

  describe server(:app) do
    describe http("http://127.0.0.1:#{port}/healthcheck") do
      it "responds content including 'WORKING'" do
        expect(response.body).to include('WORKING')
      end
    end
  end
end

Let me know if you have any issues. It's working fine for me.

@estahn but this would again test from the inside, not outside-in, right?

FYI - @LordCope is taking a similar approach with https://github.com/Atalanta/leibniz/

It's also outside-in, acceptance level infrastructure testing, but cucumber/gherkin.

@estahn, thanks for providing that info about what worked for you. Can you provide a little color around why the spec_helper.rb + Gemfile in the serverspec directory should work? I've tried to reproduce what you have but I'm getting this:

/opt/chef/embedded/bin/ruby -I/tmp/verifier/suites/serverspec -I/tmp/verifier/gems/gems/rspec-support-3.3.0/lib:/tmp/verifier/gems/gems/rspec-core-3.3.2/lib /opt/chef/embedded/bin/rspec --pattern /tmp/verifier/suites/serverspec/\*\*/\*_spec.rb --color --format documentation --default-path /tmp/verifier/suites/serverspecd such file -- infrataster (LoadError)

which to me seems to indicate that TK isn't finding the infrataster gem.

On a side note, I had to modify the 'require' in spec_helper.rb to be just "require 'infrataster'" , no "/rspec" because Ruby was complaining about the ability to load that file.

Just to loop back on this for anyone else who happens along later...

The busser-servespec code allows for a Gemfile to be dropped in the serverspec directory and it will run a 'bundle install' automagically.

I'm having issues with the suggestions here. Atleast on CentOS:
