Test Kitchen is an integration tool for developing and testing infrastructure code and software on isolated target platforms.
To learn how to install and setup Test Kitchen for developing infrastructure code, check out the Getting Started Guide.
If you want to get going super fast, then try the Quick Start next...
Test Kitchen is a RubyGem and can be installed with:
$ gem install test-kitchen
If you use Bundler, you can add gem "test-kitchen" to your Gemfile and make
sure to run bundle install.
Next add support to your library, Chef cookbook, or empty project with kitchen init:
$ kitchen init
A .kitchen.yml will be created in your project base directory. This file
describes your testing configuration; what you want to test and on which target
platforms. Each of these suite and platform combinations are called instances.
By default your instances will be converged with Chef Solo and run in Vagrant
virtual machines.
Get a listing of your instances with:
$ kitchen list
Run Chef on an instance, in this case default-ubuntu-1204, with:
$ kitchen converge default-ubuntu-1204
Destroy all instances with:
$ kitchen destroy
You can clone a Chef cookbook project that contains Test Kitchen support and run through all the instances in serial by running:
$ kitchen test
There is help included with the kitchen help subcommand which will list all
subcommands and their usage:
$ kitchen help test
Documentation is being added on the Test Kitchen website. Please read and contribute to improve them!
