Syntax

An aws_efs_file_systems resource block collects a group of EFS file system descriptions and then tests that group.

describe aws_efs_file_systems
  it { should exist }
end

Examples

Ensure you have exactly 3 file systems.

describe aws_efs_file_systems do
  its("entries.count") { should cmp 3 }
end

Use this InSpec resource to request the IDs of all EFS file systems, then test in-depth using aws_efs_file_system.

aws_efs_file_systems.file_system_ids.each do |file_system_id|
  describe aws_efs_file_system(file_system_id) do
    its("tags") { should include("companyName" => "My Company Name") }
    it { should be_encrypted }
    its("throughput_mode") { should eq "bursting" }
    its("performance_mode") { should eq "generalPurpose" }
  end
end

Matchers

exist

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

Use should_not to test the entity should not exist.

  it { should exist }
end

describe aws_efs_file_systems.where( <property>: <value>) do
  it { should_not exist }
end
