[chef] Re: Berksfile and metadata.rb

["Stewart, Curtis" < >]

If it’s something your cookbooks are dependent on, not just for tests, then always add it to your metadata.

Otherwise, you can add an :integration group to your Berksfile (and leave the cookbook out of the metadata) and test kitchen will always pickup that group.  Granted they’re local cookbooks, you can see the jenkins cookbook (https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/jenkins/blob/master/Berksfile) for an example.

Hi!

If I add

cookbook 'apt'

to the Berksfile, do I have to add

depends 'apt'

to the metadata.rb?

If I understand it correctly, sometimes I may want to add cookbooks to the
Berksfile (for example, local ones) for the run list in .kitchen.yml, but I may
not want to add them to the metadata.rb file. I'm a bit confused...
