[chef] Re: Serverspec 2.0 release

["Rafał Trójniak" < >]

Helo,
Thanks, for that notification. I hope it will decrease time for other
people.

I've bumped to this today, and:
- lost 1 hour to figure out what's going one (it was in the middle of a
  tests)
- tried 1 hour to freeze version of serverspec in test-kitchen (see
  below)
- learned in 20 minutes how to fix incompatibility

Nerveless, this was quite unexpected end of the week. Is there any way
that I can force test-kitchen/busser to use only older version ? Some
way of effectively Gemfile would be really nice. It would allow to
migrate to new version of serverspec with preparations, not by force.

I've tried to google something, even dig into the code. I found that I
can put Gemfile inside serverspec directory (for example
tests/integration/default/serverspec/Gemfile). That almost worked
(older gems were also installed). But still old and new version is
present, ruby uses newer version and test crashes.

I have run tests successfully only by invoking ruby manually, specifying
each library with -I option, but that's it.

Regards.
