Test Kitchen - Destroy

Test Kitchen Destroy Stage

The destroy stage terminates the EC2 instances, Vagrant boxes, or containers that Test Kitchen created for testing.

Occasionally, the destroy stage may encounter issues if the hosting platforms have altered the state of the provisioned instance during your writing, testing, or debugging sessions. If you face any problems with the destroy stage or any other Test Kitchen commands, verify the following:

• The test target's login, hostname, and IP address are still accurate.
• The test instance is still running on the hosting platforms.

Sometimes, the solution can be as simple as checking if the instance is still active.
