hostname missing when waiting for ssh service in create action

[litjoco]

During the create action the instance is created and logged as ready. Following this the ssh connection is being checked. The connection is always fails made and eventually times out. I am able to manually connect during this time using same keypair. From the log it looks like the hostname is not getting set.

I have tried explicitly setting the interface_type and leaving it as default with same result.

       Waiting for SSH service on :22, retrying in 3 seconds
D      [SSH] opening connection to ec2-user@<{:user_known_hosts_file=>"/dev/null", :paranoid=>false, :port=>22, :compression=>"zlib", :compression_level=>6, :keepalive=>true, :keepalive_interval=>60, :timeout=>120, :keys_only=>true, :keys=>["/some/path/key.pem"], :user=>"ec2-user"}>
D      [SSH] connection failed (#<Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) for "" port 22>)

fyi: After the time out the state file is created with the instance id but hostname is empty

@litjoco
Make sure to adjust your .kitchen.yml file:

...
platforms:
  - name: centos-6.3
    driver_plugin: ec2
    transport:
      username: test
      ssh_key: <%= ENV['AWS_SSH_KEY']%>
...

It works correctly for me.

If the hostname is not set, we are having an issue where it attempts to converge on localhost. This is very bad.

This also looks to be largely a problem around not specifying an 'interface'

I'm having the same problem, I noticed the .kitchen/default- is missing the hostname field, no matter if I specify the lines suggested by @dsavinkov, also tried specifying interface: to dns, internal or public with the same results

last_action: destroy
server_id: i-5ec8f688
hostname: ''

Thanks for the suggestion @dsavinkov.
If I manually update the state file to have the hostname or ip, that should be populated, then the additional actions such as converge, verify and login all work as expected.

This makes me think that my config is correct

merge request #123 should resolve this issue, by returning private_ip_address by default and wiring up an interface variable in the config to specify dns, private, or public.
