I’m getting to the point where I would like to implement tests for my cookbooks. I’m looking at test kitchen but I don’t think it works on Windows nodes. Does anyone have any recomindations or books for testing Windows nodes?
Thanks,
David

It's still pretty early days for testing on Windows, so you're right,
Test Kitchen doesn't currently support Windows. However this is what I
do:
Use Vagrant directly, old-style (with a single Vagrantfile)
Use vagrant-berkshelf to resolve dependencies
You can also run ServerSpec tests on the target machine, however I
haven't personally tried that yet.

While not supported it does work (with a few tweaks). Have a peek at Platform detection · Issue #325 · test-kitchen/test-kitchen · GitHub. Its far from a
bullet proof implementation, but It has allowed me to test Windows using
test-kitchen for a couple of months now. I'm not sure how well this works
with something other than WinSSHD.

Prior to getting test-kitchen working we used a combination of Vagrant with
the vagrant-windows plugin, as well as a shell scripts wrapped around knife
which would provision cloud instances and execute the tests. Getting it
working under test-kitchen was a much nicer experience than either of those
approaches.

It actually works with older versions of test-kitchen using vagrant-windows
that connects through WinRM to the windows box (we built a Windows 2008R2
box from opscode bento definitions).
Unfortunately now you have to use SSH with newer versions of test-kitchen
and they dropped the use_vagrant_provision option.

Is anybody testing on Windows with containers? I was thinking maybe
Virtuozzo. (Are there any other options that don't involve Azure?)
I'll be retooling our CI's functional testing soon and if I switch to LXC
I'm pretty sure my Linux tests will literally run 10x-20x faster than
Windows VMs (provisioned through our internal cloud). That's kind of
embarrassing, so I thought I'd see if anyone out there has solved for this
already.
