I’ve opened up 2 PRs (#125 and #124)  to address #1, #2 - there will be a patch fix incoming as soon as those are fixed.  I’ll look into the other issues you referenced.

You can include driver-specific information under the provisioning hash.  For example,

driver:
  subnet_id: subnet-12345
  ...
platforms:
  - ubuntu 14.04
    driver:
      security_group_ids: [“sg-abc”]
  - centos-6.4
    driver:
      security_group_ids: [“sg-def”]

I don’t think there is a regular chef-client provisioner included in base Test Kitchen, but I think someone may have written one at some point...

Hi Tyler,

I'm having a few issues.

1. IAM profiles don't assign, there's another email thread about that
2. associate_public_ip_address doesn't work for a VPC instance, there's a github issue for that
3. I get asked for a password as soon as the instance is 'ready,' even if there's no ssh connection available (there's no public IP address and I have interface: public in the .yml file). I'm not sure why it's even asking for a password when I have ssh_key set under the transport section of the .yml file.
4. availability_zone is asking for a full path instead of a letter, but this is not needed anyway as the subnet should define that. There's another github issue for that

I just started trying this out as the inability to quickly run vagrant provision when using vagrant-ec2 is driving me nuts, so I have a couple of questions about usage too:

1. Is it possible to put some settings under the suites section of the .yml file instead of under the driver? Specifically I'm asking about security groups and an iam role but I think subnet-id could be useful too. I'm trying to use this to test a role cookbook with a couple of role recipes and in actuality these roles would have different security groups and iam roles (I know the best practice is one cookbook per role but that's another story).
2. Is there a chef-client provisioner or only chef-solo or chef-zero?

Thank you guys, I had two versions of test-kitchen installed and the latest one was 1.4.0, but looks like there was some conflict going on.  I just re-installed chefdk and things are working correctly now with kitchen-ec2 0.9.0!

Yes, that `kitchen_driver_api_version` only works with Test Kitchen 1.4+.  @Luis what version of Test Kitchen do you have installed?  If you are using the ChefDK 0.5.0+ then it has the correct Test Kitchen version available.

Luis,

Kitchen 1.4.0 has been out for a while, as part of chefdk 0.5.0, there were a significant amount of dependency bumps in that.  I'd try chefdk 0.5.0+ to see if that resolves your issue.

I just upgraded the kitchen-ec2 from 0.8.0 to 0.9.0:

sudo chef gem install kitchen-ec2


Using a previous .kitchen.yml file that worked with version 0.8.0 I started getting a "Could not load the 'ec2' driver from the load path" error.  As another test I decided to use the .kitchen.yml file described in the README file, and got the same results.   Maybe I am missing a new dependency?  (if I uninstall version 0.9.0 and re-install 0.8.0 the errors go away)

Greetings!

After a 15 month hiatius, I just released the latest version of kitchen-ec2.  Quite a lot has changed, so I’ll go over some of it here!

First off, all your existing tests and configuration should continue to work when moving from 0.8.0 to 0.9.0.  However, many configurations have been deprecated in preparation for a 1.0.0 release.  If you are using a deprecated config you should get a warning at the beginning of any kitchen command.  Check the README for deprecated configs and the recommended new value.

I also switched from using the Fog gem to using the AWS SDK gem for communication.  Again, this should not be a visible change for users, just a dependency change.  As part of this I deprecated the concept of storing the AWS secret key and token inside the .kitchen.yml.  Instead it is recommended to use environment variables, a ~/.aws/credentials file or an IAM instance profile if running Test Kitchen from within AWS.  Read more about it here.

This brings the credentials in line with how AWS recommends authenticating.

All deprecated logic will continue to be supported until version 1.0.0.  I’m planning on releasing a 0.10.0 version which adds Windows support, then quickly turning around and releasing 1.0.0 with the deprecated logic removed.  So if you are currently depending on the master branch of kitchen-ec2, please switch to a pinned gem dependency!

See the CHANGELOG for more detail around bug fixes and other small improvements.

Cheers!
-Tyler
