Setup
I face some strange problems with chef test-kitchen. I use a very basic case, where I try to install and run Apache on 2 platforms.
driver:
name: vagrant
provisioner:
name: chef_zero
always_update_cookbooks: true
verifier:
name: inspec
platforms:
- name: centos-6.7
- name: ubuntu-16.04
suites:
- name: default
run_list:
- recipe[httpd::default]
verifier:
inspec_tests:
- test/smoke/default
attributes:
The reccipe (attributes) detects the platform for the package installation:
case node['platform']
when 'ubuntu'
default['httpd']['package_name'] = 'apache2'
else
default['httpd']['package_name'] = 'httpd'
end
The installation itself is based on the default action: package node['httpd']['package_name']
Kitchen execution
kitchen test works fine for CentOS.
But on Ubuntu I get an error during the kitchen converge phase:
-- Begin output of ["apt-get", "-q", "-y", "install", "apache2=2.4.18-2ubuntu3.3"] ----

When I check the us.archive.ubuntu.com website, I can not find the requested binaries. So it's logical that the installation fails. I don't really know where the apache2=2.4.18-2ubuntu3.3 is defined. Does someone know that? Anybody faced similar issues?
Thank you very much. Cheers, Thomas
You probably need an apt-get update because your apt cache files in the image are out of date. We have the apt_update resource to handle this for you.
