Examples

Ensure a target group ARN is available.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups  do
  its('target_group_names') { should include 'TARGET_GROUP_NAME' }
end

Ensure that the target group name exists.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups  do
    its('protocol_versions') { should include 'HTTP1' }
end

Matchers

The controls will pass if the describe method returns at least one result.

exist

Use should to test that the entity exists.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups  do
  it { should exist }
end

Use should_not to test the entity does not exist.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups do
  it { should_not exist }
end

be_available

Use should to check if the work_group name is available.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups  do
  it { should be_available }
end
