Testing

The cookbook comes with some testing facilities allowing you to iterate quickly on cookbook changes.

Rake

You can execute the tests with Rake. The Rakefile provides the following tasks:

$ rake -T
rake chefspec    # Run ChefSpec examples
rake foodcritic  # Run Foodcritic lint checks
rake knife       # Run knife cookbook test
rake test        # Run all tests

Bundler

If you prefer to let Bundler install all required gems (you should), run the tests this way:

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake test

Berkshelf

Berkshelf is used to set up the cookbook and its dependencies (as defined in Berksfile) prior to testing with Rake and Vagrant.

Vagrant

With Vagrant, you can spin up a virtual machine and run your cookbook inside it via Chef Solo.

This command will boot and provision the VM as specified in the Vagrantfile:

$ bundle exec vagrant up

(Berkshelf's Vagrant plugin will make your cookbook and its dependencies automatically available to Vagrant when creating or provisioning a VM.)
