How to specify cookbook path in .kitchen.yml file for chef_solo provisioner?

问题

I want to specify cookbook paths using chef_solo as a provisioner in Test Kitchen. We are not using Berkshelf or chef_zero at this time.

I set cookbooks_path in my .kitchen.yml file, but it seems like the chef_solo provisioner ignores that flag. See stack trace, below.

.kitchen.yml

---
driver:
  name: vagrant

provisioner:
  name: chef_solo
  require_chef_omnibus: 11.8.0
  roles_path: '../../roles'
  data_bags_path: '../../data_bags'
  environments_path: '../../environments'
  cookbooks_path: '../cookbooks, ../../site-cookbooks'

I see sethvargo's answer for provisioning with chef_zero, but we're blocked on Chef Zero because a solid number of our environments and roles are configured in Ruby, not JSON. https://github.com/opscode/chef-zero/issues/107. Likewise, Berkshelf is an iteration or two ahead of where we are in our code migration atm.

Is there a way to specify local cookbook paths with the chef_solo provisioner?

回答1:

I can't speak for it's place in the yaml. However I was able to get it working using a line in the knife.rb

Sounds right to me, but remember that config.rb takes precedence now, since Chef Client 12.0.

The docs do well to describe this, but keep in mind the attributes that the others have described:

Default config.rb Location:

~/.chef/config.rb

cookbook path syntax:

cookbook_path ["/full/path/to/repo/cookbooks"]

And reload Chef to test.

回答2:

It should be an array in Yaml:

provisioner:
  name: chef_solo
  require_chef_omnibus: 11.8.0
  roles_path: '../../roles'
  data_bags_path: '../../data_bags'
  environments_path: '../../environments'
  cookbooks_path:
    - ../cookbooks
    - ../../site-cookbooks

回答3:

I can't speak for it's place in the yaml. However I was able to get it working using a line in the knife.rb

cookbook_path ["/full/path/to/repo/cookbooks"]

using this in the knife.rb of the repo where I was running kitchen allowed it to work.
