Overview

This cookbook will set up a node to be able to run Jenkins build jobs for test-kitchen.

Requirements

Tested on Chef 11. See TESTING.md.

Platform

Debian (6.0.7, 7.0)
Ubuntu (12.04)

Cookbooks

vagrant
virtualbox
jenkins (at this time requires using the cookbook from the master branch as the new release isn't complete yet)

Attributes

This cookbook sets the following vagrant node attributes (used by the vagrant cookbook). These are default level, so you can override them with another priority level (such as a role, or environment) if you prefer a different version of Vagrant. This just happened to be the current values when I tested this cookbook originally.

node['vagrant']['url'] - URL to download the vagrant package.
node['vagrant']['checksum'] - SHA256 checksum of the vagrant package.

As test-kitchen is still in alpha as of this writing, we specify a particular version of the pre-release to install that has been tested.

node['kitchen']['gem_version'] - The version of the test-kitchen gem to install.

Recipes

default

As vagrant+virtualbox is the default driver for test-kitchen 1.0, we need those installed. Since this is intended for jenkins use, we'll also install a jenkins server.

We need a sane Ruby environment, and native extensions compiled in some Gems, so the appropriate packages are installed. Then, the vagrant-berkshelf plugin is installed for the "jenkins" user. Finally, we install the required RubyGems into the system-wide Ruby.

Usage

Add the recipe to the node or role where you wish to run test-kitchen jenkins jobs. Additionally set the required jenkins server attributes. For example, I'm using the following role for my jenkins server:

{
  "name": "jenkins",
  "description": "Jenkins Build Server",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[kitchen-jenkins]"
  ],
  "default_attributes": {
    "jenkins": {
      "server": {
        "home": "/var/lib/jenkins",
        "plugins": ["git-client", "git"],
        "version": "1.511",
        "war_checksum": "7e676062231f6b80b60e53dc982eb89c36759bdd2da7f82ad8b35a002a36da9a"
      }
    }
  },
  "json_class": "Chef::Role",
  "chef_type": "role"
}
