Adding Attributes to Test Kitchen

Question

I\'m trying to override attributes in the java cookbook with test-kitchen.

When I try run kitchen converge default-centos-64, a bad YAML er

Answer 1

Attributes are supplied as normal yaml content:

suites:
  - name: default
    run_list: 
      - recipe[java::default]
      - recipe[maven::default]
    attributes:
       java:
         install_flavor: "oracle",
         jdk_version: "7"

The Getting Started shows a syntax similar to yours:

suites:
  - name: default
    run_list: 
      - recipe[java::default]
      - recipe[maven::default]
    attributes: { 'java': { 'install_flavor': 'oracle' } }
