Test Kitchen Rake Task

[Eric Krupnik]

Hi Group,

 

I am working on setting up a Rakefile for running all our tests, and want to only use one Rakefile for all cookbooks, to avoid duplication across our 40+ cookbooks. I have all the tests working, such as Tailor, Foodcritic, knife syntax test, but test kitchen isn’t working. Because I have only one Rakefile, it is located under chef-repo/cookbooks/Rakefile. The test kitchen .kitchen.yml file is in each cookbook, and so on the command line I am able to reference it successfully from the chef-repo/cookbooks/ directory by running KITCHEN_YAML=#{$COOKBOOK}/.kitchen.yml kitchen test --concurrency --destroy=always. When I put the same command into my Rakefile (below) it is not working. Any ideas?

 

  desc 'Run Test Kitchen'

  task :kitchen_test do

    print_header("About to run Test Kitchen on #{$COOKBOOK}")

    sh "KITCHEN_YAML=#{$COOKBOOK}/.kitchen.yml kitchen test --concurrency --destroy=always"

  end

 

Failure:

 

KITCHEN_YAML=dist_modeling/.kitchen.yml kitchen test --concurrency --destroy=always

rake aborted!

Command failed with status (127): [KITCHEN_YAML=dist_modeling/.kitchen.yml ki...]

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
