Nevermind, it was actually an include that was missing:

include Serverspec::Helper::Exec

Sorry for the noise.

It looks like requiring ‘pathname’ in the spec_helper fixes the problem. Any ideas as to why?

P.S.: Jesse: thanks for pointing to your skeleton cookbook, I got this requirement from there, I just don’t know why it’s required (and if it is, why it’s not already required by one of the higher level thingies, like serverspec itself) . :)

This is happening with all my serverspec tests.

This is where the problem occurs:

# /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/serverspec-0.6.9/lib/serverspec.rb:42:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Which has:

RSpec.configure do |c|

  c.include(Serverspec::Helper::Configuration)

  c.include(Serverspec::Helper::RedHat,  :os => :redhat)

  c.include(Serverspec::Helper::Debian,  :os => :debian)

  c.include(Serverspec::Helper::Gentoo,  :os => :gentoo)

  c.include(Serverspec::Helper::Solaris, :os => :solaris)

  c.include(Serverspec::Helper::Darwin,  :os => :darwin)

  c.add_setting :os,            :default => nil

  c.add_setting :host,          :default => nil

  c.add_setting :ssh,           :default => nil

  c.add_setting :sudo_password, :default => nil

  Serverspec.configuration.defaults.each { |k, v| c.add_setting k, :default => v }

  c.before :each do

    backend.set_example(example)

  end

end

The backend.set_example line inside the before :each block is the one that breaks. That backend name is not defined anywhere previously, was it supposed to “just work” somehow? Or am I missing something in my tests?

Any help is appreciated, right now I’m clueless. :)

The spec_helper so far has only “require ‘serverspec’” in it.

localhost/logstash_agent_spec.rb has:

require 'spec_helper'

describe 'Logstash Agent' do

  it 'downloads and installs the logstash jar' do

    jar = file '/opt/logstash/agent/lib/logstash-1.1.1-monolithic-es0.19.10.jar'

    expect(jar).to be_file

    expect(jar).to match_md5checksum '3eb8159a1566b3d21ec62b34c5984427'

  end

  # A couple of other specs here

end

And that’s it, really.

Whats your helper and spec files look like ? I have working / simple example in my skeleton repo that should work https://github.com/spheromak/test_cook_skeleton/tree/master/test/integration/default/serverspec

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:

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?
