I am running test kitchen with salt using salt_solo
and I cannot pass variables into the formula if I declare them in the platform.
For example if this was my .kitchen.yml
---
driver:
name: vagrant
platforms:
- name: ubuntu-14.04
grains:
org:
bat: batz
suites:
- name: binary
provisioner:
name: salt_solo
state_top:
base:
'*':
- binary
formula: binary
grains:
org:
foo: bar
Then my formula is not able to access {{grains['org']['bat']}}
, but it is able to access {{grains['org']['foo']}}
.
The solution is to add provisioner:
before the platform variables. This fix to the example .kitchen.yml
from above will solve the issue:
---
driver:
name: vagrant
platforms:
- name: ubuntu-14.04
provisioner:
grains:
org:
bat: batz
suites:
- name: binary
provisioner:
name: salt_solo
state_top:
base:
'*':
- binary
formula: binary
grains:
org:
foo: bar
