Testing chef data bags

I need to test chef recipe. This is using a data bag.

kitchen is using chef_zero in order to provision the machine. So, it's not able to get my data bag hosted on server. Then it's telling me that my data bag is not available.

How could I get a data bag available on test kitchen?

I've created a aws.json file on test\integration\data_bags:

{
  "id": "dev",
  "aws_access_key_id": "----",
  "aws_secret_access_key": "----"
}

When I perform my converge I'm getting this message:

INFO: HTTP Request Returned 404 Not Found: Object not found: chefzero://localhost:8889/data/aws/dev

ERROR: Failed to load data bag item: "aws" "dev"

.kitchen.yml file content:

The server error indicates that is searching something called aws/dev (where aws is the data bag's name and dev is the name of the item within that data bag).

So you would have to place your JSON file under test/integration/data_bags/aws/dev.json.

Btw. you don't have to manually specify the data_bags_path, as test-kitchen will search for items at exactly this path.
