Is there a way to test recipes using ChefVault with test-kitchen?

[cstewart87]

How do you run integration tests on recipes?

We have not done it with test kitchen yet, but have successfully done it with ChefSpec

def chef_vault_mock(vault, item, value)
  ChefVault::Item.stub(:load).with(vault, item).and_return(value)
end

Then in a spec you can use this mock function like:

chef_vault_mock('passwords', 'test_user', { 'id' => 'test_user', 'password' => 'happy' })

This works pretty good in ChefSpec. Unfortunately have not played a lot with test kitchen so don't know exactly what all would be involved, but would love to have someone help with that.

My initial thoughts are some kind of embedded test user or something. Not fully sure though.

Please take a look at the chef-vault cookbook.
