Using chef-metal with test kitchen

[Scott Carter]

Just wondering if anybody has examples of using test-kitchen with chef-metal.  We have some cookbooks that in order to test properly we need to converge more than one suite before we can go back and do the verify.  It would be cool if we could make this a one step process using chef-metal.

Douglas Triggs has finished a kitchen-metal plugin for Test Kitchen: https://github.com/doubt72/kitchen-metal  but it requires a PR to get merged into Test Kitchen proper before it will be usable.  So unfortunately, you can't use chef-metal with test-kitchen directly quite yet...

FYI: More on the saga of Test Kitchen and chef-metal: https://github.com/doubt72/kitchen-metal/issues/2  - this is where I would recommend looking for examples, when they will be available.  Douglas says that the kitchen-metal driver will probably get moved out of his account soon and migrated to either the opscode or test-kitchen org.

And here's a link to the aforementioned PR: https://github.com/test-kitchen/test-kitchen/pull/451
