test kitchen is doing the same. you can trigger tk runs via jenkins. we trigger foodcritic-> chefspec -> lxc based functional test via jenkins. each stage depends on the success of earlier stage. jenkins itself is controlled via chef. we use the community jenkins cookbook, and job lwrp to configure our builds (we have chef code base, and several other services running tests via jenkins, all configured by chef). the jenkins cookbook also allows you to specify plugins. we use the ghprb plugin to automatically build PRs.

The only scripts we had to build was our jenkins wrapper cookbook, which creates all the jenkins job, adds plugins using the community cookbook's lwrp & attributes. We had to build a custom jenkins plugin for the auth (we wanted to used the chef managed users to be available as jenkins user, without giving jenkins access to /etc/shadow),

Yeah, "Jenkins with chef" could be one of two things: using chef to deploy jenkins, or using jenkins to do CI on chef cookbooks. For the first way, there is actually a cloud deployment option now for Jenkins, so really you can just play clickety-click in Reach and have a working Jenkins box in a couple minutes. It even has a nice Rackspace skin.

I'm interested in setting up Jenkins to test cookbooks, using vagrant openstack, testing multiple OS's, using berkshelf, github integration, etc... . If anybody has stood up something like this and wrote anything down on what they did, it'd be appreciated.

Hi,

I don't know what do you exactly mean by "integrate Jenkins with chef", but there is a jenkins cookbook maintained by opscode : https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/jenkins

Cheers,

Pierre
