Ansible Repository for testing ansible using test kitchen with Docker. The tests are stored in the in /test/integration (as in the chef format)

This demonstrates using test-kitchen, ansible and kitchen-verifier-serverspec to build and verify a server.

The first thing you need to do is install the test-kitchen environment on your workstation. A useful link is: http://misheska.com/blog/2013/12/26/set-up-a-sane-ruby-cookbook-authoring-environment-for-chef/

The follow instructions are for Windows PC (it will be similar for Mac):

1. Download and install virtualbox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
2. Download and install Docker
3. Download and install the Windows RubyInstaller for 64 bit Ruby 2.x from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads.
   • Check the option to add ruby to your path.
   • Install the devkit
4. Then install the following gems

• gem install test-kitchen
• gem install kitchen-ansible
• gem install kitchen-docker
• gem install kitchen-verifier-serverspec

7. git clone the repository https://github.com/neillturner/ansible_docker_repo

In a Docker CLI window in the puppet_docker_repo directory run command

kitchen list

NOTE: I used Windows Kitematic and select Docker CLI from the bottom of the screen to get a Docker CLI Powershell Window This will return a list if everyting is correctly installed.

kitchen create ansible-centos-8 -l debug

kitchen converge ansible-centos-8 -l debug

kitchen verify ansible-centos-8 -l debug

kitchen destroy ansible-centos-8 -l debug
