I should point out that, as of Chef 12, the encrypted_data_bag_item method in Chef Sugar is less useful, as the data_bag_item method that is built-in to Chef can now determine if a data bag item is encrypted or not, and act appropriately.
This means, for testing a cookbook, you can use plaintext versions of the data bag item(s) (i.e., in test/integration/data_bags), while keeping your real ones as encrypted items in your Chef Server.

Correction - encrypted_data_bag_secret config setting

Yes, that works for doing it the “regular” way as I use that method where I’m using other encrypted data bags, but I’m depending on a cookbook that uses encrypted_data_bag_item from chef-sugar. It relies on the encrypted_data_bag_item config setting or else it throws an exception. That isn’t set when chefspec runs, so I’m thinking that I need to stub that method. I just don’t know how.

This is the example on the ChefSpec page:
If you are using Encrypted Data Bag Items, you’ll need to dive into the RSpec layer and stub that class method instead:
describe ‘example::default’ do
before do
allow(Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem).to receive(:load).with(‘users’, ‘svargo’).and_return(…)
end
end
I’ve not actually done it, but in your case maybe something along these lines?
allow(Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem).to receive(:load).with(‘ssl’, ‘dhparam’, ‘not_nil’).and_return(
‘parameters’ => ‘parameters’
)

When I test a recipe with chefspec that has ‘encrypted_data_bag_item’ from chef-sugar, I get an error about the encrypted data bag secret config not being set. I’m not sure how to stub that out.
I don’t know ruby much more than what’s necessary for chef, so I’m struggling with how to stub that out. This was my attempt:
allow(Chef::Sugar::Databag).to recieve(:encrypted_data_bag_item).with(‘ssl’, ‘dhparam’, ‘not_nil’).and_return({
‘parameters’ => ‘parameters’
})
I get the exception ‘uninitialized constant Chef::Sugar’. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
