Provisioner Options

State Options

dry_run

default: false

Setting this to True will run the highstate with test=True (good for testing states syntax)

formula

default: nil

Name of the formula directory for finding where the state files are located.

state_collection

default: false

Directory containing salt states that is not a formula

is_file_root

default: false

Treat the root directory of this project as a complete file root.

Setting the is_file_root flag allows you to work with a directory tree that more closely resembles a built file_root on a salt-master, where you have may have multiple directories of states or formula. The project is recursively copied down to guest instance.

Consider a directory that looks like this:

top.sls
.kitchen.yml
apache/init.sls
mysql/init.sls
mysql/client.sls
mysql/server.sls
php/init.sls
...

With a .kitchen.yml like this you can now test the completed collection:

---
driver:
  name: vagrant

provisioner:
  name: salt_solo
  is_file_root: true
  state_top:
    base:
      '*':
        - apache
        - mysql.client

platforms:
  - name: ubuntu-12.04

suites:
  - name: default

In this example, the apache state could use functionality from the php state etc. You're not just restricted to a single formula.

local_salt_root

default: nil

When used with is_file_root, the directory specified here represents the /srv/ directory and everything will be copied there.

provisioner:
  is_file_root: true
  local_salt_root: setup/

The above will require that a salt directory be located at setup/salt/ with all the state files in it. To use the root directory, set local_salt_root: '.'.

remote_states

default: nil

Note that this is not used if state_collection or local_salt_root are specified, or is_file_root is set to true.

This is used for testing environments. Specify the salt states elsewhere, and then use them to deploy code from the current environment.

For example, saltstack itself uses a Salt-Jenkins project to configure its testing environment. This is done like so:

---
provisioner:
  name: salt_solo
  remote_states:
    repo: git
    name: git://github.com/saltstack/salt-jenkins.git
    branch: 2017.7
    testingdir: /testing
  state_top:
    base:
      '*':
        - git.salt

This will clone the salt-jenkins.git git repository to the salt_file_root (/srv/salt) directory, and then run the git.salt state.

The optional testingdir field specifies where to create a copy of the test kitchen project's root directory. The salt_copy_filter provisioner option is applied during this copy to exclude any files.

log_level

default: nil

The log level with which the salt-call command will be run.

state_top

default: {}

Dictionary that will be turned into a top file on the test instance.

suites:
  - name: client
    provisioner:
      state_top:
        base:
          '*':
            - beaver
            - beaver.ppa

  - name: server
    provisioner:
      state_top:
        base:
          '*':
            - beaver.server
            - beaver.ppa

salt_env

default: base

Environment to use in minion config file for the file and pillar roots.

state_top_from_file

default: false

If a top.sls file is provided in the states directory, and that is the top.sls that is to be used, then this should be set to true so that it is not overwritten by state_top

vendor_path

default: nil

Absolute or relative path to a collection of formulas required for the states that are being tested.

Example

provisioner:
  vendor_path: ./srv/env/dev/_formulas

vendor_repo

default: nil

Setup repositories for installing packaged formula dependencies.

Types:

  • apt: apt repository
  • ppa: ppa repository
  • spm: spm repository

TODO: add yum

Examples

provisioner:
  vendor_repo:
    - type: apt
      url: http://apt-mk.mirantis.com/trusty
      key_url: http://apt-mk.mirantis.com/public.gpg
      components: salt
      distribution: nightly
    - type: ppa
      name: neovim-ppa/unstable
    - type: spm
      url: https://spm.hubblestack.io/2016.7.1
      name: hubblestack

dependencies

default: []

A list of hashes for installing formula depenencies into the VM.

Types:

  • path: relative or absolute path to one formula
  • apt: install formula via apt package
  • yum: install formula via yum package
  • spm: install formula via spm package from http, path, or spm repository
  • git: install formula by cloning git repository

Examples

provisioner:
  dependencies:
    - name: foo
      path: ./tests/formula-foo
    - name: nginx
      repo: apt
      package: salt-formula-nginx
    - name: linux
      repo: git
      source: https://github.com/salt-formulas/salt-formula-linux.git
    - name: nginx
      repo: yum
      package: salt-formula-nginx
    - name: hubblestack_nova
      repo: spm
      package: https://spm.hubblestack.io/nova/hubblestack_nova-2016.10.1-1.spm

Grain and Pillar Options

grains

default: nil

This options allows grains to be set on the guest, written out to /etc/salt/grains

For example, the following suite will define grains on the guest:

  - name: set-grains-test
    provisioner:
      salt_version: 0.16.2
      grains:
        roles:
          - webserver
          - memcache
        deployment: datacenter4
        cabinet: 13
        cab_u: 14-15

pillars

default: {}

Dictionary of pillar files to setup on the minion.

pillars:
  top.sls:
    base:
      '*':
        - testing
  testing.sls:
    python:
      bin: /usr/bin/python3
      version: 3

pillars_from_files

default: nil

The pillars_from_files option allows for loading pillar data from another file, instead of being embedded in the .kitchen.yml. This allows the re-use of the example files or reduce the clutter in .kitchen.yml

Consider the following suite definition:

- name: tcp-output-external-pillar
  provisioner:
    pillars_from_files:
      beaver.sls: pillar.example
    pillars:
      top.sls:
        base:
          '*':
            - beaver

And the contents of pillar.example is a normal pillar file:

# defaults are set in map.jinja and can be over-ridden like this
beaver:
  transport: stdout
  format: json

pillars_from_directories

default: []

An array of strings or hashes of directories that will be copied recursively to the pillar root.

pillars_from_directories:
  - source: ../foo/bar
    dest: srv/pillar/baz
  - ../qux

The result would be:

{sandbox_path}/srv/pillar
|- baz
|- [contents of qux]

pillar_env

default: nil

Environment to use in minion config file for the pillar root, if different from salt_env.

Install Salt

salt_install

default: bootstrap

Method by which salt will be installed:

  • bootstrap: install salt with the bootstrap script.
  • yum: install salt from a yum repository.
  • apt: install salt from an apt repository.
  • distrib: install the version of salt that comes with the distribution.
  • ppa: install salt from a ppa.
  • false: bypass salt installation.

Except for distrib and bootstrap, most of these options will require extra configuration to make sure it fits the tests distribution version. Unless the newest version is used, then it should just work for yum and apt setups.

If set to none, salt must already exist or provisioning will fail. This option is useful for images that have salt pre-installed.

salt_version

default: latest

The desired version of salt that will be installed. For some places, this is used to set the repo to enable or what version to pass to bootstrap.

This is also used to verify that the correct version of salt was installed before running the highstate.

salt_bootstrap_url

default: https://bootstrap.saltproject.io

Location of the bootstrap script. This can also be a file located locally. If running a local file, install_after_init_environment must be set to true.

For Windows, use the powershell script

salt_bootstrap_options

default: nil

Optional options passed to the bootstrap script. By default this gets set to the salt_version if nothing is specified here.

For example, this could be used to install salt from the develop branch:

suites:
  - name: use-development-branch-salt
    provisioner:
      salt_bootstrap_options: -M -N git develop

Details on the various options available at the salt-bootstrap documentation.

For the Windows Powershell script:

platforms:
  - name: windows
    provisioner:
      salt_bootstrap_script: https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/blob/develop/bootstrap-salt.ps1
      salt_bootstrap_options: -version 2017.7.2

You can also use %s in any part of this, to replace with the version of salt, as specified by salt_version

For example, below is a custom bootstrap option for centos6 requiring python2.7, here %s gets replaced by 2018.3

platforms:
  - centos-6:
    provisioner:
      salt_bootstrap_options: "-P -p git -p curl -p sudo -y -x python2.7 git %s"

suites:
  - name: oxygen
    provisioner:
      salt_version: '2018.3'
      salt_install: bootstrap
