How to get value of encrypted data bag secret within Test Kitchen

I have added data_bags_path and encrypted_data_bag_secret_key_path within kitchen.yml as follows:

provisioner:
  name: chef_zero
  chef_omnibus_url: omni-url/chef/install.sh
  roles_path: 'test/integration/default/roles'
  data_bags_path: "test/integration/default/data_bags"
  encrypted_data_bag_secret_key_path: "test/integration/default/encrypted_data_bag_secret"

I believe the above copies the encrypted_data_bag_secret to a file named encrypted_data_bag_secret under /tmp/kitchen/

That is why, in my recipe I am calling secret as follows:

secret = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load_secret("/tmp/kitchen/encrypted_data_bag_secret")
encryptkey = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load("tokens", "encryptkey", secret)

However, the test kitchen is failing with following error:

No such file or directory - file not found '/tmp/kitchen/encrypted_data_bag_secret'

Solution

In general you probably don't want to use encrypted data bags in your tests. If you do want to use the encryption for some reason (really, don't) use the normal data_bag_item() API which does the key loading for you.
