kitchen-ohai Cookbook

Overrides ohai attributes in your kitchen-tests. This should not be used in a production environment.

Usage

This cookbook allows you to override ohai attributes in a test-kitchen context:

1. Include kitchen-ohai in your suite runlist.
2. Declare the ohai values in the kitchen_ohai.values attributes in your suite.

Here is an example of .kitchen.yml file overriding os and platform ohai with insane values:

---
driver:
  name: vagrant

platforms:
- name: centos-7.2

suites:
- name: default
  run_list:
  - recipe[kitchen-ohai]
  - recipe[my_cookbook::my_recipe]
  attributes:
    kitchen_ohai:
      values:
        platform: linux
        platform_version: 42
        os: windows

In some cases, you might want to include some attributes files before overriding Ohai attributes. You just need to declare these attributes files as dependencies:

---
driver:
  name: vagrant

platforms:
- name: windows2012r2

suites:
- name: default
  run_list:
  - recipe[kitchen-ohai]
  - recipe[my_cookbook::my_recipe]
  attributes:
    kitchen_ohai:
      dependencies:
      - my_cookbook::my_attribute_file
      values:
        my_ohai: overriden_value

Attributes

This cookbooks exposes 2 attributes:

• kitchen_ohai.dependencies - List of attributes file that must be included before overriding ohai - default [].
