How to search the .kitchen.yml attributes

Question

I want to search the hostname with

searchnode = search(:node, "zookeeper:true")

Want to get output Hostname.fqdn.com as node but i am not getting it. Maybe I don't know how to access the attribute.

  environments_path: test/integration/default/environments
  client_rb:
    environment: stg

  always_update_cookbooks: true

verifier:

  - name: centos-7.2

suites:
  - name: Hostname.fqdn.com
    run_list:

          - recipe[test-cookbook::test]


    data_bags_path: "test/integration/default/data_bags"


attributes: {zookeeper: "true"}

You explicitly want to search, right? I assume that you know how to access the current `node`'s attributes.. — StephenKing, Mar 15 '17 at 06:53
`node['zookeeper']` is really new to you? Please read the tutorials on [learn.chef.io](https://learn.chef.io). — StephenKing, Mar 15 '17 at 23:37

Your .kitchen.yml is not valid, as the top-level attributes section is ignored. You should move this below the suite's elements (indentation matters with YAML!):

suites:
  - name: Hostname.fqdn.com
    run_list:
      - recipe[test-cookbook::test]
    data_bags_path: "test/integration/default/data_bags"
    attributes: {zookeeper: "true"}

Then, your search should find this node. You can use kitchen diagnose to see the resulting attributes.

If you want to mock other nodes in test-kitchen, you can place JSON files containing the node definitions in test/integration/nodes (as used in this cookbook; can be configured via node_path). You can then use search to "discover" other nodes based on their attributes or run lists.

While copying i have copied run_list: - recipe[test-cookbook::test] — Udhay, Mar 15 '17 at 18:17
