Usage

initialize spec direcotries and create skeleton-specfiles.

$ serverspec-runner -r /path/to/your_serverspec_root

Edit your spec-files.

$ vim  /path/to/your_serverspec_root/test_top_dir/.../your_serverspec_test.rb

Edit your infrastructure or middleware tests scenario to "scenario.yml".

test_top_dir:                # test directory top
    :                        # test hierarchy directories
  test_bottom_dir:           # test directory bottom
    - servername             # ssh-accessible ip address or fqdn. or alias

servername:                  # alias name(not required)
  host: 192.168.0.11         # ssh-accessible ip address or fqdn(required if alias exist)
  ssh_opts:                  # ssh options(not required)
    port: 22                 # ssh port option(not required)
    user: "anyone"           # ssh user option(not required)
    keys: ["~/.ssh/id_rsa"]  # ssh private keys option(not required)
      :                      # any other Net::SSH Options(not required)
  any_attribute: "aaa"       # host attributes. this example available to get "property[:any_attribute]" from your codes(not required)

do tests.

$ serverspec-runner -r /path/to/your_serverspec_root -s /path/to/your_scenario.yml

or

$ cd /path/to/your_serverspec_root && serverspec-runner

You can also specify ssh_options.yml(Net::SSH options) file by "-o" option for default ssh options.

$ serverspec-runner -s /path/to/your_scenario.yml -o /path/to/your_ssh_options.yml

For example. You write serverspec code like this.

require 'spec_helper'

describe "nginx" do

  describe "check running" do
    describe process('nginx') do
      it { should be_running }
    end
  end

  describe file('/etc/logrotate.d/nginx') do
    it { should be_file }
    it { should contain "rotate 14" }
  end
end

You can get the following outputs.
