[chef] Re: application builds/ci involving Chef

[Gourav Shah < >]

Is anyone here doing application builds (either yourself or for devs) that involve any of the following:

-Local (workstation) testing of a developed app with Chef housing configuration files

For local development with chef managing configs, you could try using vagrant + chef 

 

-Application bundling with ant, maven, groovy, scripts, whatever that also includes parallel check-ins to Chef code?
-CI testing of an application that builds an artifact but also has configurations in Chef?

I have used Jenkins + chef.  You could also add capistrano in the mix for deployment. 

Thanks
