Ansible Provisioner for Test Kitchen

kitchen-ansible

A Test Kitchen Provisioner for Ansible

The provider works by passing the ansible repository based on attributes in .kitchen.yml & calling ansible-playbook.

It install ansible on the server and runs ansible-playbook using host localhost.

Has been tested against the Ubuntu 1204 and Centos 6.5 boxes running in vagrant/virtualbox.

Requirements

You'll need a driver box without a chef installation so ansible can be installed.

Installation & Setup

You'll need the test-kitchen & kitchen-ansible gem's installed in your system, along with kitchen-vagrant or some other suitable driver for test-kitchen.

Please see the Provisioner Options (https://github.com/neillturner/kitchen-ansible/blob/master/provisioner_options.md).

Example kitchen.yml file

based on the example ansible setup for tomcat at https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples/tree/master/tomcat-standalone
