[chef] Re: Is there a low-key test framework?

[Ranjib Dey < >]

are you looking for unit testing or integration testing? rspec & chefspec can help you our with unit testing ruby modules+ chef cookbooks. If you want to test bare minimum convergence you can use vagrant with chef provisioner to test , incrementally you can add mini-test bases tests and test-kitchen. It really depends upon what you want to test first? Integration testing is a bit of more work/slow, but its way better than the early days :-)

I've got recipe code that's pure Ruby, assembling information from attributes, data bags, etc. that's then consumed by more Cheffy code.

I'm looking for a way to "contribute" the plainer Ruby parts to a script that would exercise them.

At present, I simply have those bits copied out into stand-alone scripts I can run.

I'm new to Chef and to Ruby. I'm having fun, but I'm getting serious now about using the very recipes I've been writing in a genuine production environment.

I'd like a suggestion or two pointing me to some simple frameworks, even if they tested Chef in addition to mere Ruby code.

Thanks,
