[chef] Re: Chefspec + Berksfile - Cookbook not found

[Jamie Winsor < >]

Hey Cassiano,

It looks like you're attempting to test on your own machine - this will be a 
problem. We generally use Vagrant virtual machines to test our cookbooks. 

The reason your cookbook is not found is because the cookbook_path attribute 
in your machines Knife config does not contain the path to the cookbook you 
are testing.

Berkshelf will automatically make the cookbooks acailable to your Vagrant VM 
so you could run your specs within the Vagrant VM.

There is also the Test-Kitchen approach which I would recommend you looking 
into!
