The goal of this release is to ssh all the things in order to support any system reachable over SSH. In addition to local Vagrant machines, chef-runner can now provision remote machines like EC2 instances. To achieve this, I made the following changes:

  • The argument passed to -H now has the format [user@]hostname[:port],
    allowing you to optionally change SSH user and port. (Other SSH settings can
    be set via ~/.ssh/config.)
  • rsync over SSH is used to transfer files to /tmp/chef-runner on the target
    machine. chef-runner no longer depends on /vagrant being mounted.
  • With Vagrant, instead of running commands via vagrant ssh, feed the output
    of vagrant ssh-config into OpenSSH. The same SSH configuration is used to
    upload files with rsync.

Other changes:

  • Introduce flexible driver concept (inspired by Test Kitchen). A driver is
    responsible for running commands on and uploading files to a machine using
    whatever mechanism is available. chef-runner currently contains drivers for
    Vagrant and SSH, but more can -- and will -- be added.
  • Always transfer files with rsync --compress to speed things up.
  • Remove Cucumber scenarios. They didn't add much value to the Go tests and were
    very slow. Now Travis builds are much faster.
  • More and better Go tests.
  • More and better log messages.
  • Option -h outputs more useful usage text (the one shown in the README).
