For an example, I just posted an example of using the beta gems to create and test an ActiveDirectory controller pair. The cookbook and tests can be hosted on windows, mac or Linux via virtualbox or Hyper-V. You can read it here: http://www.hurryupandwait.io/blog/orchestrating-multi-server-tests-in-test-kitchen From:

My (quite basic) kitchen tests with kitchen-vagrant and the vagrant-lxc provider are still running fine. Thanks for releasing this with kitchen-vagrant 0.16.0 earlier this week! “oooo, ahhhh” Windows?! Indeed very useful (I might need to set up some windows boxes in the near futur...) So far I found the boxcutter/windows [0] boxes superb. Mischa Taylor has done a great job with boxcutter. Not sure though whether they have winrm enabled or not... Btw: are there any real life test-kitchen / windows examples out there already?

If you find issues, please let myself or Tyler Ball know and file an issue if you can.

How do you get started? At the moment getting Vagrant base box images of Windows is still a big pain, but if you have access to one, here are the versions that should “just work”: > > - Windows Server 2012r2 > - Windows Server 2012r2 Core (you will need .NET 4.5 installed however) > - Windows Server 2012 (your system/image must have the KB2842230 hotfix applied (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2842230)) > - Windows Server 2008r2 > - Windows 8.1 Pro,Enterprise,etc. > - Windows 8 Pro,Enterprise,etc. (your system/image must have the KB2842230 hotfix applied (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2842230)) > - Windows 7 > > ### Windows with Kitchen::Vagrant > > Any Vagrant base box should have `vm.communicator = “winrm”` and `vm.guest = “windows”` set by default, otherwise `vagrant up` will not be able to correctly boot the VM. Note that there are some Windows base boxes out there with `vm.communicator = “ssh”` set, so plan accordingly. > > Assuming you have a Vagrant base box called “windows-2012r2”, you can use a .kitchen.yml similar to: > > — > driver: > name: vagrant > > platforms: > - name: windows-2012r2 > > suites: > - name: default > > Note that with the updates in kitchen-vagrant you don’t need to set/override a `:box`, `:box_url`, `:communicator`, `:guest`, `:port`, `:username`, or `:password`.

If you don’t believe me, run `kitchen diagnose` against both and note the difference :) > > Finally, if you use certain Vagrant providers or use private networks in your setup, kitchen-vagrant is not currently able to determine your WinRM port. I’m hoping to fix this with a Vagrant plugin which kitchen-vagrant can use to return it’s WinRM and RDP hostname and port. > > ### Further Reading > > You can check out the CHANGELOG for more details/links regarding beta.1 and beta.2: > > https://github.com/test-kitchen/test-kitchen/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md > > > Happy testing! > > -- > Fletcher Nichol > Engineering Lead - Test Driven Infrastructure > CHEF | http://www.chef.io > IRC, Twitter, GitHub: fnichol > > > |
