Installing serverspec and running tests on EC2


This is an introduction of installing serverspec and running a test spec file to confirm that nginx and sysstat are installed and running.

 Defining hostname of the node to test and specific settings
~/.ssh/config
Host chef-node01
  HostName xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  Port 22
  User ec2-user
Installing servespec via bundle
$ gem i bundle
$ mkdir serverspec
~/serverspec/Gemfile
source 'https://rubygems.org'


gem 'serverspec'
gem 'rake'
$ bundle install --path gems

Creating spec file
spec/chef-node01/nginx_spec.rb 
require 'spec_helper'


describe package('nginx') do
  it { should be_installed }
end


describe service('nginx') do
  it { should be_enabled   }
  it { should be_running   }
end


describe port(80) do
  it { should be_listening }
end


describe file('/etc/nginx/nginx.conf') do
  it { should be_file }
end
spec/chef-node01/sysstat_spec.rb 
require 'spec_helper'


describe package('sysstat') do
  it { should be_installed }
end


describe service('sysstat') do
  it { should be_running   }
  it { should be_enabled   }
end
I removed "it { should be_running   }" because sysstat generates pid file but deletes it after generating.

     33         rm -f $PIDFILE
     34         echo
     35         ;;
Running tests
First, move to the directory to run tests. Rakefile sees the spec files that include"*_spec.rb" on its file name.
$ cd spec/chef-node01/
Rakefile 
require 'rake'
require 'rspec/core/rake_task'

RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec) do |t|
  t.pattern = 'spec/*/*_spec.rb'
end

task :default => :spec
The error message below appears after running the test. It is necessary to add the following entry to require pty.
spec/spec_helper.rb
SpecInfra.configuration.request_pty = true
$ bundle exec rake spec
/usr/bin/ruby2.0 -S rspec spec/chef-node01/nginx_spec.rb
