cpspec

Cpspec is a framework which allows behaviour driven development for chef cookbooks/Puppet Manifests. It enables testing of the cookbooks on the local box. The same test then can be executed on Target machine. It is a vagrant extension. Use vagrant to apply cookbook on the local environment and then run test to assert if desired changes are applied.

Installation

• Install vagrant. Installation instructions can be found here.(http://vagrantup.com/docs/getting-started/index.html)

gem install cpsec

Usage

• Write test for the cook books

require 'test/unit' class TestJavaCookbook def test_java_installed_in_correct_path assert_true File.exists?("/usr/bin/java") end end

• Specify the test directory path (Absolute or relative)

Vagrant::Config.run do |config| config.test.directory = "env-test" config.vm.define :dev do |conf| conf.vm.box = "lucid32" conf.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef| chef.cookbooks_path = "chef-repo/cookbooks" chef.add_recipe "java" end end end

• Run tests vagrant run_test
