Kitchen::VagrantWinrm

A Test Kitchen Driver for Vagrant using WinRM.

This driver is mainly the same as kitchen-vagrant, but instead of using SSHBase class it's using the vagrant plugin Vagrant-winrm to communicate with the machine through WinRM protocol.

Requirements

Vagrant

A Vagrant version of 1.1.0 or higher is required for this driver which means that a native package must be installed on the system running Test Kitchen.

Note: If you have previously installed Vagrant as a gem (a version prior to 1.1.0), this version may be resolved first in your PATH. If you receive an error message that Vagrant is too old despite having installed Vagrant as a package, you may be required to uninstall the gem version or modify your PATH environment. If you require the vagrant gem for older projects you should consider the vagrant-wrapper gem which helps manage both styles of Vagrant installations (background details).

Vagrant-Winrm plugin

A version higher or equal to 0.5.0 of the Vagrant-winrm plugin is required for this driver to communicate with the machine.

Virtualbox and/or VMware Fusion/Workstation

Currently this driver supports VirtualBox and VMware Fusion/Workstation. Virtualbox is free and is the default provider for Vagrant.

VirtualBox package

If you would like to use VMware Fusion/Workstation you must purchase the software from VMware and then must also purchase the Vagrant VMware plugin.

Vagrant VMware Plugin

VMware Fusion

VMware Workstation

Installation and Setup

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'kitchen-vagrant_winrm'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install kitchen-vagrant_winrm

Then edit your .kitchen.yml to use vagrant_winrm as default kitchen driver:

driver_plugin: vagrant_winrm

Or as machine specific driver:

platforms:
  - name: windows-2008r2
    driver:
      name: vagrant_winrm
    provisioner:
      name: chef_zero
      sudo: false
      root_path: /var/chef/
      chef_client_path: /opscode/chef/bin/chef-client
      chef_omnibus_root: /opscode/chef/
      ruby_bindir: /opscode/chef/embedded/bin
    driver_config:
      guest: windows
      communicator: 'winrm'
      winrm_username: 'vagrant'
      winrm_password: 'vagrant'
      #...

Please read the Driver usage page for more details.

Configuration

box

Required This determines which Vagrant box will be used. For more details, please read the Vagrant machine settings page.

The default will be computed from the platform name of the instance. For example, a platform called "fuzzypants-9.000" will produce a default box value of "opscode-fuzzypants-9.000".

box_url

The URL that the configured box can be found at. If the box is not installed on the system, it will be retrieved from this URL when the virtual machine is started.

The default will be computed from the platform name of the instance.

provision

A boolean value that determines whether Vagrant provisioning system is used when creating the VM.

By default the value is unset, or nil. In this case the driver will not use the Vagrant provisioning system

provider

This determines which Vagrant provider to use. The value should match the provider name in Vagrant. For example, to use VMware Fusion the provider should be vmware_fusion. Please see the docs on providers for further details.

By default the value is unset, or nil. In this case the driver will use the Vagrant default provider which at this current time is virtualbox unless set by VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER environment variable.

custom_settings

A Hash of Vagrant settings. Each key/value pair should be vagrant settings. It could be used to configure custom plugins. For example:

driver:
  custom_settings:
    omnibus.chef_version: :latest
    berkshelf.enabled: 'false'

will generate a Vagrantfile configuration similar to:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # ...

  config.omnibus.chef_version = :latest
  config.berkshelf.enabled = false
end

You should take care of adding single/double quotes around your string values.

### <a name="config-customize"></a> customize

A **Hash** of customizations to a Vagrant virtual machine.  Each key/value
pair will be passed to your providers customization block. For example, with
the default `virtualbox` provider:

```ruby
driver:
  customize:
    memory: 1024
    cpuexecutioncap: 50

will generate a Vagrantfile configuration similar to:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # ...

  config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |virtualbox|
    virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "1024"]
    virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpuexecutioncap", "50"]
  end
end

Please read the "Customizations" sections for VirtualBox and VMware for more details.

dry_run

Useful when debugging Vagrant CLI commands. If set to true, all Vagrant CLI commands will be displayed rather than executed.

The default is unset, or nil.

guest

Set the config.vm.guest setting in the default Vagrantfile. For more details please read the config.vm.guest section of the Vagrant documentation.

The default is unset, or nil.

network

An Array of network customizations for the virtual machine. Each Array element is itself an Array of arguments to be passed to the config.vm.network method. For example:

driver:
  network:
  - ["forwarded_port", {guest: 80, host: 8080}]
  - ["private_network", {ip: "192.168.33.33"}]

will generate a Vagrantfile configuration similar to:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # ...

  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080
  config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.33"
end

Please read the Vagrant networking basic usage page for more details.

The default is an empty Array, [].

pre_create_command

An optional hook to run a command immediately prior to the vagrant up --no-provisioner command being executed.

There is an optional token, {{vagrant_root}} that can be used in the pre_create_command string which will be expanded by the driver to be the full path to the sandboxed Vagrant root directory containing the Vagrantfile. This command will be executed from the directory containing the .kitchen.yml file, or the kitchen_root.

For example, if your project requires Bindler, this command could be:

pre_create_command: cp .vagrant_plugins.json {{vagrant_root}}/ && vagrant plugin bundle

The default is unset, or nil.

synced_folders

Allow the user to specify a collection of synced folders on each Vagrant instance. Source paths can be relative to the kitchen root.

The default is an empty Array, or []. The example:

driver:
  synced_folders:
    - ["data/%{instance_name}", "/opt/instance_data"]
    - ["/host_path", "/vm_path", "create: true, type: :nfs"]

will generate a Vagrantfile configuration similar to:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # ...

  c.vm.synced_folder "/Users/mray/cookbooks/pxe_dust/data/default-ubuntu-1204", "/opt/instance_data"
  c.vm.synced_folder "/host_path", "/vm_path", create: true, type: :nfs
end

username

This is the username used for SSH authentication if you would like to connect with a different account than Vagrant default user.

If this value is nil, then Vagrant parameter config.ssh.default.username will be used (which is usually set to 'vagrant').

vagrantfile_erb

An alternate Vagrantfile ERB template that will be rendered for use by this driver. The binding context for the ERB processing is that of the Driver object, which means that methods like config[:kitchen_root], instance.name, and instance.provisioner[:run_list] can be used to compose a custom Vagrantfile if necessary.

Warning: Be cautious when going down this road as your setup may cease to be portable or applicable to other Test Kitchen Drivers such as Ec2 or Docker. Using the alternative Vagrantfile template strategy may be a dangerous road--be aware.

The default is to use a template which ships with this gem.

vm_hostname

Sets the internal hostname for the instance. This is not used when connecting to the Vagrant virtual machine.

For more details on this setting please read the config.vm.hostname section of the Vagrant documentation.

To prevent this value from being rendered in the default Vagrantfile, you can set this value to false.

The default will be computed from the name of the instance. For example, the instance was called "default-fuzz-9" will produce a default vm_hostname value of "default-fuzz-9.vagrantup.com".

winrm-username

This is the username used for WinRm authentication.

The default value is vagrant.

winrm-password

This is the password used for WinRm authentication.

The default value is vagrant.

winrm-port

This is the port used for WinRm communication.

The default value is 5985.
