A Test Kitchen driver for Orbstack

[hbokh]

Would it be possible and / or doable for a (Ruby) developer to create a "Test Kitchen driver" for Orbstack Linux machines?

Reference: https://kitchen.ci/docs/drivers/

There are a lot of drivers to be found under https://github.com/orgs/test-kitchen/repositories?type=all
for example for Vagrant, Hyper-V, OpenStack, etc.
IMHO A good example (but not listed there) is the Kitchen QEMU driver: https://github.com/esmil/kitchen-qemu/

I'm hardly a programmer myself, but my guess is all code in a file lib/kitchen/driver/orbstack.rb needs to make use of the orbctl command.

Why not use the Docker driver?

[hbokh]

That is OK for containers, but AFAIK it won't handle Linux machines.
I'm looking into replacing QEMU and the Kitchen QEMU driver specifically.

[kdrag0n]

Got it. Sorry, no plans to work on a driver, but you can subscribe to #105 for potential future support through Vagrant.

Trying to glue together a Ruby gem myself.
In the meantime had some more success with kitchen-ssh.
