kitchen-syncgz

kitchen-syncgz provides alternate file transfer implementations for test-kitchen, most of which are faster than the default, thus speeding up your test runs.

This project is a fork of kitchen-sync, the key enhancement of kitchen-syncgz is that it archives directories before transferring files to the target machine, which helps to overcome latency related issues when transferring a large number of small files. The archiving enhancement is based on the amazing work done by Roy Reznik.

Run chef gem install kitchen-syncgz and then set your transport to sftpgz:

transport:
  name: sftpgz

The default mode uses SFTP for file transfers, as well as a helper script to avoid recopying files that are already present on the test host. If SFTP is disabled, this will automatically fall back to the SCP mode.

By default this will use the Chef omnibus Ruby, you can customize the path to Ruby via ruby_path:

transport:
  name: sftpgz
  ruby_path: /usr/bin/ruby
