Test Kitchen is an integration tool for developing and testing infrastructure code and software on isolated target platforms.

Getting Started Guide

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...

Quick Start

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 file 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 Infra Client on an instance, in this case default-ubuntu-2004, with:

$ kitchen converge default-ubuntu-2004

Destroy all instances with:

$ kitchen destroy

You can clone a Chef Infra cookbook project that contains Test Kitchen support and run through all the instances in serial by running:

$ kitchen test

Usage

There is help included with the kitchen help subcommand which will list all subcommands and their usage:

$ kitchen help test

More verbose logging for test-kitchen can be specified when running test-kitchen from the command line using:

$ kitchen test -l debug

For the provisioner (e.g. chef-solo or chef-infra) add a log_level item to the provisioner section of the .kitchen.yml For more information on setting log_level see the configuration documentation.

Documentation

Documentation is being added on the Test Kitchen website. Please read and contribute to improve them!

Versioning

Test Kitchen aims to adhere to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0.

Community and Ecosystem

If you would like to see a few of the plugins or ecosystem helpers, please look at ECOSYSTEM.md.

Development

Pull requests are very welcome! Make sure your patches are well tested. Ideally create a topic branch for every separate change you make. For example:

  1. Fork the repo
  2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
  3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Added some feature')
  4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
  5. Create a new Pull Request
