v0.3.0
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
ofvagrant 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).
