I tried to run the tests and they're all written for an old version of

there's some platform mocking with Fauxhai that's missing, and the
template uses Ohai data, which, if not mocked, returns nil.

That'd be great, Brad -- get in touch with Sean O'Meara at
Opscode^WChef 
(

 and he'll be happy to arrange
something. We need to update the tests, as above, and go from there.
