Basic serverspec test

serverspec-basic.rb

# spec/localhost/httpd_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'

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

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

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

describe file('/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf') do
  it { should be_file }
  its(:content) { should match /ServerName localhost/ }
end

This serverspec test validates the state of apache on a RHEL-based target system. It verifies the following:

• The httpd package is installed
• The httpd service is enabled
• The httpd service is running
• Port 80 is listening (accepting requests)
• The httpd.conf file exists
• The httpd.conf file has a line that contains the text "ServerName localhost"
