Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'awspec'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install awspec

Getting Started

STEP 1. Generate awspec init files

$ awspec init

STEP 2. Set AWS config

2-1. Use Shared Credentials like AWS CLI

$ aws configure

...

(See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ja_jp/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html#config-settings-and-precedence)

2-2. Use secrets.yml

$ cat <<EOF > spec/secrets.yml
region: ap-northeast-1
aws_access_key_id: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
EOF

STEP 3. Write spec/*_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'

describe ec2('my-ec2-tag-name') do
  it { should be_running }
  its(:instance_id) { should eq 'i-ec12345a' }
  its(:image_id) { should eq 'ami-abc12def' }
  its(:public_ip_address) { should eq '123.0.456.789' }
  it { should have_security_group('my-security-group-name') }
  it { should belong_to_vpc('my-vpc') }
  it { should belong_to_subnet('subnet-1234a567') }
  it { should have_eip('123.0.456.789') }
  it { should be_disabled_api_termination }
end

Using shared_context: region

require 'spec_helper'

describe sqs('my-sqs-queue'), region: 'us-west-2' do
  it { should exist }
  its(:queue_url) { should eq 'https://sqs.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/xxxxxxxxxxxx/my-sqs-queue' }
  its(:queue_arn) { should eq 'arn:aws:sqs:us-west-2:xxxxxxxxxxxx:my-sqs-queue' }
  its(:visibility_timeout) { should eq '30' }
  its(:maximum_message_size) { should eq '256000' }
  its(:message_retention_period) { should eq '86400' }
  its(:delay_seconds) { should eq '0' }
  its(:receive_message_wait_time_seconds) { should eq '10' }
end

STEP 4. Run tests

$ bundle exec rake spec

Advanced Tips: Spec generate command

Generate spec from AWS resources already exists.

$ awspec generate ec2 vpc-ab123cde >> spec/ec2_spec.rb

Advanced Tips: Use Shared Credentials (~/.aws/config ~/.aws/credentials)

$ awspec generate ec2 vpc-ab123cde --profile mycreds

$ AWS_PROFILE=mycreds bundle exec rake spec
