platform_version in Travis

[arm4b]

In Travis we see confusing platform_version when running ChefSpec unit tests. It's not clear what that really means.

After some research, here is what is platform_version and how it should be:

Example found in mysql chef cookbook:

• build: https://travis-ci.org/chef-cookbooks/mysql/jobs/172042270
• spec: https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/mysql/blob/master/spec/mysql_server_installation_package_spec.rb

So it might be good to follow that example by running unit tests with different platform settings and remove platform hardcoding from spec_helper.rb

nice find!

Looks like yum-erlang_solutions is the one causing the platform_version output as well as the deprecation warnings

Solved by https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/yum-erlang_solutions/pull/11

Good catch!

PR merged on the yum-erlang_solutions side Should be picked up in the next supermarket release

Looks like it was already released https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/yum-erlang_solutions/commit/168e72b0d14bf2e20a7d5de960098a444263d1a8

Restarted the master branch build on travis and it cleaned up the extra output https://travis-ci.org/StackStorm/chef-stackstorm/jobs/179058632

Yay! Thanks @shortdudey123, looks much cleaner now :+1:

I renamed the Issue just not to open another one, related to multi-platform Unit Testing.

But you can close this Issue as "resolved" & open another one with the correct description, if you want.
