Hi,  
I was trying to set up vagrant using test-kitchen and I am behind a proxy server. I have installed vagrant-proxyconf gem along with test-kitchen,kitchen-vagrant and berkshelf. I do have configured proxyconfig parameters in the vagrantfile present in cookbook.

I observe the virtualmachine displayed in virtualbox but kitchen-converge doesn’t proceed and keeps trying to wget to install omnibus. Please let me know what i should look for to be able to continue with chef-client.

**Vagrantfile** :

if Vagrant.has\_plugin?(“vagrant-proxyconf”)  
config.proxy.http = "[http://proxy.abc.testserver.com:8099](http://proxy.abc.testserver.com:8099)"  
config.proxy.https = "[https://proxy.abc.testserver.com:8099](https://proxy.abc.testserver.com:8099)"  
config.proxy.no\_proxy = "localhost,127.0.0.1"  
end

**kitchen.yml** :

driver:  
name: vagrant  
customize:  
natdnshostresolver1: "on"  
network:

- [“forwarded\_port”, { guest: 81, host: 8082 }]

Does it continue to run after that point? i would think its just checking for a newer version every run (maybe using latest? or even a version specified… might just check whats installed vs what is downloaded

I dont think it’s a show stopper unless you case is completely different

It doesn’t run after that point.I am not completely sure where i could check the installed vs download version. But, here’s my try…i am novice to chef and trying to learn things as am writing a cook book.

$ls -lh `which chef`  
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 20B Mar 22 21:31 /usr/local/bin/chef -\> /opt/chefdk/bin/chef  
Chef Development Kit Version: 0.11.2

But, when i tried to verify the chef components installed i observed, ruby gems were pointing to 2.1.0 in opt/chefdk/embedded/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/2.1.0/, however, i was using ruby-2.2.3 version of ruby installed through rvm. Did i mess up anything with the way i have set up my chefdk and also my ruby environment.

I tried to check ohai and observed that chefdk could be missing right version of chef-config not bundled. how could i get the right version to over come this error.

You might try setting the `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` [provisioner config settings](https://docs.chef.io/config_yml_kitchen.html#provisioner-settings) in your .kitchen.yml instead of using vagrant-proxyconf.

Thanks @Matt_Wrock for looking into it. I have used environment variables in my shell for the proxy settings and haven’t used in .kitchen.yml. I will use them in my config and see how it works.

@Matt_Wrock I have updated the kitchen.yml with proxy settings and tried to run kitchen test but failed with the following error which i believe is not able to find the centos base box. should i also be using any other proxy variables to work behind proxy server in my kitchen.yml or vagrant file. Thank you.

The only other thing I can think of off hand is to try setting the `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY` environment variables before launching the kitchen run.
