[chef] test-kitchen/ec2 and user_data

[Luis Cosmes < >]

Hi guys,

Anyone has had any luck setting user_data on your .kitchen.yml file when converging a node?  I have tried both specifying a file with the command or putting the actual bash commands, but no luck thus far.  Any suggestions?

Here is a snapshot of the relevant .kitchen.yml file

driver:

  name: ec2

  aws_ssh_key_id: [key_id]

  ssh_key: "[path_to_ssh_key]"

  aws_access_key_id: <%= ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'] %>

  aws_secret_access_key: <%= ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'] %>

  region: us-east-1

  availability_zone: us-east-1b

  security_group_ids: ["sg-9999999"]

  subnet_id: "subnet-aaaaaaa"

  flavor_id: t2.small

  iam_profile_name: "[profile-name]"

  user_data: "../../my_user_data_file"
