kitchen-docker: Can't run kitchen-docker with Docker for Mac

I have the new Docker for Mac installed and I can run docker just fine. When I run kitchen docker though I get the following error:

I tried the use_sudo: false workaround from #201 and it works. 😄 … But it’s just a workaround. It should work whether or not I use sudo.

So the work around steps are:

  • active port-forwarding
    pinata set network nat external-bind=true
  • add use_sudo: false to your kitchen.yml driver config:
    driver:
      name: docker
      use_sudo: false

Just run eval (docker-machine env default) on the shell. This is an issue with the Mac, not the driver. If you can’t docker ps then the driver doesn’t stand a chance

On OSX, I was able to get around this error permanently by:

  1. Clicking Docker Icon on the menu bar
  2. Clicking preferences
  3. Clicking “Reset”
  4. Clicking “Remove all data”
  5. Clicking “Reset to factory defaults”

I haven’t seen it since.

Not everyone can do this, because it’s highly destructive operation, but I suspect most can because they are using Docker purely for dev purposes on their workstation.

Ran into this issue today:

OSX 10.11.6 Docker version 1.12.1, build 6f9534c kitchen-docker 2.6.0

Had to add use_sudo: false to .kitchen.yml to get it to work.

@davidcpell You can also add use_sudo: false to your ~/.kitchen/config.yml in the driver section.

This solution was mentioned on the PR referenced above, but never brought back here.

i don’t use docker-machine, though… i’m using the native docker for mac. no docker environment variables need to be set for it.

Is there anything I could do to help address this issue?

Or perhaps there is a different recommendation for using Test Kitchen with Docker on a Mac?

I’m blocked right now and I’m not sure how to proceed.

If I use this use_sudo: false work-around, I can make the Class: Kitchen::UserError Message: You must first install the Docker CLI tool... error go away, however, instead I get a failure like this on kitchen converge:

            Installing chef 12.14.89
                 installing with dpkg...
                 Selecting previously unselected package chef.
          (Reading database ... 16043 files and directories currently installed.)
                 Preparing to unpack .../chef_12.14.89-1_amd64.deb ...
                 Unpacking chef (12.14.89-1) ...

                 Thank you for installing Chef!
                 mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/tmp/kitchen’: No space left on device

which makes sense. When you run kitchen login default as the kitchen user (not root) and run mkdir /tmp/kitchen you get this same error, it’s because the provisioner now no longer has privileges to do this.

How do I give the provisioner the permissions it needs when use_sudo: false?

My .kitchen.yml
