It looks like the initial support for chef-zero provisioner has been added  
to test-kitchen but it’s not working for me:  
[https://gist.github.com/iroller/8a297dd53438ce02c5e7](https://gist.github.com/iroller/8a297dd53438ce02c5e7) (shows chef-zero as a  
provisioner, but still trying to use chef-solo on converge)

Is there a way to use Chef-zero with test-kitchen in the same way it works  
with Vagrantfile?  
Maybe there is some pull request I can clone&merge or a fork where it works?

Whereas the vagrant-chef-zero vagrant plugin can be used with a Vagrantfile  
to start chef-zero on the host, I have not found a way to get test-kitchen  
to use chef-zero instance on the host. The test-kitchen chef\_zero  
provisioner seems to install chef-zero on the guest and use it that way.

To get that to work, make sure you do not have a Vagrantfile in the  
directory you are running test-kitchen, and under the platform section add  
"use\_vagrant\_provision: false".

Example:

* * *

driver\_plugin: vagrant

platforms:

- name: ubuntu-precise  
driver\_config:  
box: ubuntu-12.04  
box\_url: .box  
provider: virtualbox  
use\_vagrant\_berkshelf\_plugin: true  
use\_vagrant\_provision: false

provisioner: chef\_zero

suites:

- name: default  
run\_list:   
attributes: {}

Did you get it to work with the chef\_zero provisioner by setting  
'use\_vagrant\_provision:false'? I didn't need to do that to get it to work.  
Simply using 'provisioner:chef\_zero' worked for me when I used it a couple  
months ago. Are you sure you're using a version of test-kitchen with  
chef\_zero support. It's only in 1.0.0.beta1, beta2 and beta3. No final  
release yet that I see. I just installed directly from master.  
Here's what worked for me. Just, bundle install and then kitchen verify.

* * *

You need to create a "./test/integration/data\_bags" in the root of the repo  
you are running test-kitchen from. This can be a symlink to wherever the  
repos exist.

Same things with roles and (I think, but haven't tested),  
encrypted\_data\_bag\_secret.

So, say you're repo is "foo", located at "~/repos/foo", and your data bags  
are at "~/repos/data\_bags", then:

mkdir -p ~/repos/foo/test/integration  
ln -s ~/repos/data\_bags/ ~/repos/foo/test/integration/data\_bags

You should see the data\_bags being copied over and uploaded to the  
chef-zero instance during a kitchen converge.

Yeah that did the trick. Thanks allot. I've tried it over days with no result. Regards,Oleg  
You need to create a "./test/integration/data\_bags" in the root of the repo you are running test-kitchen from. This can be a symlink to wherever the repos exist.

Same things with roles and (I think, but haven't tested), encrypted\_data\_bag\_secret.

So, say you're repo is "foo", located at "~/repos/foo", and your data bags are at "~/repos/data\_bags", then:

mkdir -p ~/repos/foo/test/integration

ln -s ~/repos/data\_bags/ ~/repos/foo/test/integration/data\_bags

You should see the data\_bags being copied over and uploaded to the chef-zero instance during a kitchen converge.

Can anyone tell me how to configure kitchen to upload my local data bags to the chef zero server? Regards,Oleg Did you get it to work with the chef\_zero provisioner by setting 'use\_vagrant\_provision:false'? I didn't need to do that to get it to work. Simply using 'provisioner:chef\_zero' worked for me when I used it a couple months ago. Are you sure you're using a version of test-kitchen with chef\_zero support. It's only in 1.0.0.beta1, beta2 and beta3. No final release yet that I see. I just installed directly from master.Here's what worked for me. Just, bundle install and then kitchen verify. -----------------------------------------~ ᐅ grep -v '^#' src/cookbooks/glusterfs/.kitchen.yml---driver\_plugin: vagrantdriver\_config: require\_chef\_omnibus: trueprovisioner: chef\_zero platforms:- name: ubuntu-12.04 driver\_config: box: opscode-ubuntu-12.04 box\_url: [https://opscode-vm-bento.s3.amazonaws.com/vagrant/opscode\_ubuntu-12.04\_provisionerless.box](https://opscode-vm-bento.s3.amazonaws.com/vagrant/opscode_ubuntu-12.04_provisionerless.box) suites:- name: client run\_list: ["recipe[glusterfs]"] attributes: {}- name: server run\_list: ["recipe[glusterfs]", "recipe[glusterfs::server]"] attributes: {} ~ ᐅ grep -v '^#' src/cookbooks/glusterfs/Gemfilesource '[https://rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org/)' gem 'berkshelf'group :integration do gem 'kitchen-vagrant', :git =\> '[https://github.com/opscode/kitchen-vagrant.git](https://github.com/opscode/kitchen-vagrant.git)' gem 'test-kitchen', :git =\> 'git://[github.com/opscode/test-kitchen.git](http://github.com/opscode/test-kitchen.git)'end Regards,John On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 7:23 AM, Anton Koldaev \<[koldaevav@gmail.com](http://koldaevav@gmail.com)\> wrote:
