Writing rspec tests for Chef test kitchen

Question

I'm learning chef and working with kitchen. From the documentation I was able to figure out how to run bats tests, but I can't find any explanation on writing rspec tests other than that it is one of the four built in test suites.

Answer 1

Just put your serverspec code under test/integration/<suite name>/serverspec/<suite name>_spec.rb. Make sure you load serverspec by putting this at the top of your file:

require 'serverspec'
set :backend, :exec

Other than that, just write normal serverspec test code.

Answer 2

For integration tests check this tutorial about serverspec

For Chef recipes unit testing use ChefSpec
