About the google_compute_instances resource	gcp

Syntax

A google_compute_instances is used to test a Google Instance resource

Beta Resource

This resource has beta fields available. To retrieve these fields, include beta: true in the constructor for the resource

Examples

describe google_compute_instances(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', zone: 'zone') do
  its('instance_names') { should include 'inspec-instance' }
end

Test that there are no more than a specified number of instances in the project and zone

describe google_compute_instances(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  zone: 'europe-west2-a') do
  its('count') { should be <= 100}
end

Test the exact number of instances in the project and zone

describe google_compute_instances(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  zone: 'europe-west2-a') do
  its('instance_ids.count') { should cmp 9 }
end

Test that an instance with a particular name exists in the project and zone

describe google_compute_instances(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  zone: 'europe-west2-a') do
  its('instance_names') { should include "my-favourite-instance" }
end
