inspec-tkinfo

InSpec plugin to retrieve Test Kitchen data as inputs.

In some cases you want to get info about the Test Kitchen environment that your InSpec verifier is running in. This plugin offers some insight into instance name, platform name and suite name.

Simply execute inspec plugin install inspec-tkinfo, which will get the plugin from RubyGems and install/register it with InSpec.

You can verify successful installation via inspec plugin list

You have three input names available:

• KITCHEN_INSTANCE_NAME ('default-amazon2')
• KITCHEN_SUITE_NAME ('default')
• KITCHEN_PLATFORM_NAME ('amazon2')

Use them in your InSpec tests like this:

instance_name = input('KITCHEN_INSTANCE_NAME')

describe file("/etc/#{instance_name}") do
  it { should exist }
end
