Exists if any virtual networks exist in the resource group
describe azure_virtual_networks(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP') do
it { should exist }
end
Filters the results to only those that match the given name (Client Side)
**Insist that MyVnetName exists.**
describe azure_virtual_networks(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP').where(name: 'VNET_NAME') do
it { should exist }
end
**Insist that you have at least one virtual network that starts with 'prefix'.**
describe azure_virtual_networks(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP').where { name.include?('project_A') } do
it { should exist }
end
Filters the networks at Azure API to only those that match the given name via a generic resource (Recommended)
**Fuzzy string matching.**
describe azure_generic_resources(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', resource_provider: 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks', substring_of_name: 'project_A') do
it { should exist }
end
**Exact name matching.**
describe azure_generic_resources(resource_group: 'RESOURCE_GROUP', resource_provider: 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks', name: 'MyVnetName') do
it { should exist }
end
