[chef] RE: Test kitchen defaults

[Martin Smith < >]

Hi Jeff,

I submitted a PR recently to allow us to feed arbitrary JSON data into the 
generator cookbooks, just like we already can with the chef-client:

https://github.com/opscode/chef-dk/pull/211

I think it would enable your use case, as you could feed in some arbitrary 
platform data and have the generator cookbook act accordingly. Our use case 
is similar -- we want to branch our generator logic based on input from the 
user running the command. Right now, the only inputs are hard-coded.

Cheers,

- Martin B. Smith,

Subject: [chef] Test kitchen defaults

Hi,

I get a .kitchen.yml file when ever I run ‘chef generate cookbook foo’.   
Almost every time I end up wanting to edit that file. Is there a way to set 
some defaults, ie for platforms and what not?

Thanks!

jeff.
