Run one simple command to easily setup your Windows machine for Chef cookbook development in about 20 minutes.

1. Install the latest ChefDK package from Chef.
2. Create a chef directory in your home directory for your cookbook development.
3. Using chef-client, install developer tools required for Chef cookbook development, like git, Vagrant, and the Atom editor.

Copy the PowerShell commands below and paste them into a PowerShell Admin console. This will execute the bootstrap script on your workstation.

$script = (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nordstrom/chefdk_bootstrap/master/bootstrap.ps1).Content
$script | Invoke-Expression

If you need to go through a proxy server use this version:

$env:http_proxy='http://myproxy.example.com:8080'; $env:https_proxy=$env:http_proxy; (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nordstrom/chefdk_bootstrap/master/bootstrap.ps1 -ProxyUseDefaultCredentials -Proxy $env:https_proxy).Content | Invoke-Expression

Mac support is coming soon.

This cookbook installs these tools:

Atom, a free, general purpose, cross-platform, open source, text editor. Out of the box, Atom supports all the languages you will need for Chef development: Ruby, PowerShell, Bash, XML, JSON, etc.

Git - command line git client and tools.

Virtualbox - Oracle's free, open source virtualization tool for local cookbook testing.

Vagrant - ChefDK's included Test Kitchen tool uses Vagrant to spin up local VMs for cookbook testing.

• Installs Chocolatey, a Windows package manager, similar to apt-get on Ubuntu or homebrew on Mac. Chocolatey is used to install packages like posh-git and kdiff3.

• Installs all the other tools marked true in the node['chefdk_bootstrap']['package'] hash.

• Includes the Powershell profile configuration recipe.

• Installs the Atom editor

• Installs git, git-credential-winstore, and posh-git.

• Installs gitextensions, a GUI git client.

• Installs the free, open-source diff/merge tool, kdiff3.

• Configures a global PowerShell profile to correct the $env:HOME environment variable and run chef shell-init powershell.

• Installs Vagrant.

• Installs Virtualbox.

The attributes defined by this recipe are organized under the node['chefdk_bootstrap'] namespace.

The first time you check out this cookbook, run

bundle

to download and install the development tools.

Three forms of cookbook testing are available:

bundle exec rake style

Will run foodcritic (cookbook style) and rubocop (Ruby style/syntax) checks.

bundle exec rake spec

Will run ChefSpec tests. It is a good idea to ensure that these tests pass before committing changes to git.

bundle exec rake coverage

Will run the ChefSpec tests and report on test coverage. It is a good idea to make sure that every Chef resource you declare is covered by a unit test.

bundle exec guard

Will run foodcritic, rubocop (if enabled) and ChefSpec tests automatically when the associated files change. If a ChefSpec test fails, it will drop you into a pry session in the context of the failure to explore the state of the run.

To disable the pry-rescue behavior, define the environment variable DISABLE_PRY_RESCUE before running guard:

DISABLE_PRY_RESCUE=1 bin/guard

bundle exec rake kitchen:all

Will run the test kitchen integration tests. These tests use Vagrant and Virtualbox, which must be installed for the tests to execute.

After converging in a virtual machine, ServerSpec tests are executed. This skeleton comes with a very basic ServerSpec test; refer to http://serverspec.org for detail on how to create tests.
