tag_server: tag key needs to be cast to string

[oliver-byler]

By default, the type of "k" is a symbol and the SDK requires it to be a string. I may be setting up my config incorrectly but if I cast k to a string, the SDK is happy and accepts it.

Here's my config option for tags:
tags:
"Name": "test-kitchen"

Here's what I did to fix the issue:

def tag_server(server)
  # tag assignation on the instance.
  config[:tags].each do |k, v|
    server.tag(*k.to_s*, :value => v)
  end
  server
end

Bumped into this problem after updating post the update to TK 1.4 syntax and switching fog dependency.

Thanks for posting, helped me figure out reasons for failures

👍 on this; I ran into the exact same thing today.

Can you try this again with the latest version (0.9.0) of kitchen-ec2? I updated to use the latest AWS SDK gem so this might not be an issue anymore.

Using release 0.9.0 the tagging was successful

Yay! Closing this - if anyone is using 0.9.0+ and runs into this again, please re-open
