[chef] test-kitchen VM naming problems

[Alfredo Palhares < >]

Hello,

I am having troubles using test-kitchen

First i can't use the platform parameter
Using kitchen test --platform ubuntu-12.04 still starts all VMs.
But worse is that i can't ssh to any machine.

Here is example kitchen status:
Current VM states:

centos-5.8               not created
centos-6.3               not created
ubuntu-10.04             running
ubuntu-12.04             running

This environment represents multiple VMs. The VMs are all listed
above with their current state. For more information about a specific
VM, run `vagrant status NAME`.

Yet runing kitchen ssh ubuntu-12.04 does
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/vagrant-1.0.5/lib/vagrant/command/base.rb:105:in
 `with_target_vms': This command requires a specific VM name to target in a 
multi-VM environment. (Vagrant::Errors::MultiVMTargetRequired)
  from

`<top (required)>'
  from /usr/bin/kitchen:23:in `load'
  from /usr/bin/kitchen:23:in `<main>''

I also noticed that Virtualbox shows a diferent name for these machines[1], 
but trying ubuntu-12-04 does the same result. 

Goint to the .kitchen directory and runing vagrant status gives me a failed 
to require problem.
So I decided to install test-kicthen with "vagrant gem install test-kitchen"
and vagrant status and ssh work fine.

But now kitchen status give me
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:60:in `require': cannot load

  from /usr/bin/kitchen:23:in `<main>''

yet  $ ls

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-10.16.0/lib/chef/mixin/params_validate.rb

I am use chef-10.16.0 and test-kitchen 0.6.0

Any ideas welcome!
