Syntax
The resource_group
, virtual network vnet
, and subnet ’name’ must be given as parameters.
Since subnet must be in the context of a virtual network, this parameter had to be included.
describe azurerm_subnet(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup', vnet: 'MyVnetName', name: 'MySubnetName') do
...
end
Examples
Ensure That the Subnet Exists for a given Virtual Network
describe azurerm_subnet(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup', vnet: 'MyVnetName', name: 'MySubnetName') do
it { should exist }
end
Ensure That the Subnets Address Prefix Is Configured as Expected
describe azurerm_subnet(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup', vnet: 'MyVnetName', name: 'MySubnetName') do
its('address_prefix') { should eq [192.168.0.0/24] }
end
Ensure That the Subnet Is Attached to the Right Network Security Group
describe azurerm_subnet(resource_group: 'MyResourceGroup', vnet: 'MyVnetName', name: 'MySubnetName') do
its('nsg') { should eq 'NetworkSecurityGroupName'}
end
Parameters

Other Attributes
There are additional attributes that may be accessed that we have not
documented. Please take a look at the Azure documentation.
Any attribute in the response may be accessed with the key names separated by
dots (.
).
The API may not always return keys that do not have any associated data. There may be cases where the deeply nested property may not have the desired attribute along your call chain. If you find yourself writing tests against properties that may be nil, fork this resource pack and add an accessor to the resource. Within that accessor you’ll be able to guard against nil keys. Pull requests are always welcome.
