How to test if my ServerSpec command condition written in Ruby works?

Question

I'm using the following ruby script

describe command('curl -s -k - i %{http_code} https://localhost/xx/xxx') do
  its(:stdout) { should match /200/ }
end

But I'm unsure if this script works or not. How can I make sure this script works?

Answer 1

Generally Serverspec is used with Chef via the Test Kitchen integration testing framework (though these days InSpec is more popular). You run your tests using the kitchen verify command.

Answer 2

It looks to me like what you want is:

describe command('curl -s -k -I https://localhost/xx/xxx') do
  its(:stdout) { should match /200/ }
end
