Kitchen::Pantry

Kitchen::Pantry handles initializing a new cookbook and provides an easy way to configure your kitchen.yml variables across all your projects.

Usage

To use kitchen-config add this to your Gemfile:

gem 'kitchen-config'

Once you have added this to your project you create a config.yml in the location of your choice and set an environment variable called KITCHEN_PANTRY where you'll keep it.

$ mkdir ~/.kitchen
$ touch ~/.kitchen/config.yml
$ export KITCHEN_PANTRY=$HOME/.kitchen/config.yml

Once you have created the file and set your environment variable you can start creating keys in your config to standardize your config options.

Example config.yml

---
:key_id: 'your_key_here'
:tester_ami: 'your_ami_here'
:tester_flavor_id: 'your_instance_size'
:region: 'your_region'

Once your kitchen-pantry is set-up you may now include kitchen-pantry in your .kitchen.yml file:

<% require 'kitchen/pantry' %>
<% config = Kitchen::Pantry %>
<% user = "#{`git config --get user.name`.chomp}" %>
