Testing

Preparation

$ bundle install

And then, to install all cookbooks:

$ bundle exec berks install

Local

$ bundle exec rake

The above runs:

• rubocop lint
• Foodcritic lint
• Chefspec tests

Chefspec tests (the interesting part) are in spec/.

Integration

$ bundle exec kitchen test

See .kitchen.yml and test/ directory for details.

It is important to check if the applied hostname and fqdn values remain the same also after machine reboot. As it is impossible to reboot using kitchen, it has to be done manually:

• run kitchen converge and kitchen verify to ensure your run is error-free,
• log in to the machine. If you're on a Debian-based system, you need to ensure that the /tmp folder won't be deleted with rebooting, since that's where busser resides. If /tmp is deleted, kitchen verify will fail after reboot even if a manual check confirms that hostname, fqdn and dnsdomainname are correct. You can preserve the /tmp folder by typing the following in your terminal: sudo find /etc/default/rcS -type f -exec sed -i 's/TMPTIME=0/TMPTIME=-1/g' {} \;
• run sudo reboot,
• wait for the machine to reboot and run kitchen verify again.
