Ensure a parameter group name is available.

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_group(parameter_group_name: 'test') do
  its('parameter_group_name') { should eq 'test' }
end

Check the family name in the cluster parameter group.

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_group(parameter_group_name: 'test') do

For a full list of available matchers, see our Universal Matchers page.

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

exist

Use should to test that the entity exists.

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_group(parameter_group_name: 'test') do
  it { should exist }
end

Use should_not to test the entity does not exist.

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_group(parameter_group_name: 'test') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

be_available

Check if the IP address is available.

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_group(parameter_group_name: 'test') do
  it { should be_available }
end

Use should_not to test an IP address that should not exist.

describe aws_redshift_cluster_parameter_group(parameter_group_name: 'test') do
  it { should_not be_available }
end
