[chef] Test-Kitchen & serverspec woes

[Cassiano Leal < >]

Hey ho!

I’m having a bit of trouble running serverspec ... erm... specs in Test Kitchen 1.0.0.alpha.7.

This is an exerpt of the kind of error I’m seeing:

-----> Running serverspec test suite

/opt/chef/embedded/bin/ruby -I/opt/busser/suites/serverspec -S /opt/chef/embedded/bin/rspec /opt/busser/suites/serverspec/localhost/logstash_agent_spec.rb

FFF

I have my specs in test/integration/default/serverspec/localhost (with a spec_helper.rb in its parent dir). All three specs fail with the same error.

The node conversion ran without problems, and I manually verified that it worked as expected, but the specs failed miserably.

Any ideas where should I look for the problem?
