Syntax

An azurerm_security_center_policies resource block uses an optional filter to select a group of Security Center Policies and confirm that the expected groups exist.

describe azurerm_security_center_policies do
  ...
end

Examples

Check for a Security Center Policy

describe azurerm_security_center_policies do
  its('names') { should include 'default' }
end

Assert default Security Center Policy exists

describe azurerm_security_center_policies.where(name: 'default')
  it { should exist }
end

Filter Criteria

• names

names

Filters the results to include only those Security Center Policies that match the given name. This is a string value.

# default should always exist
describe azurerm_security_center_policies.where(name: 'default')
  it { should exist }
end

Matchers

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

This resource has the following special matchers.

exists

The control will pass if the filter returns at least one result. Use should_not if you expect zero matches.
