## Advanced concepts
### Checking at least one condition passes with `describe.one`
### Checking if at least one condition passes with `describe.one`
With Chef InSpec it is possible to check if at least one of a collection of checks is true. For example: If a setting is configured in two different locations, you may want to test if either configuration A or configuration B have been set. This is accomplished via `describe.one`. It defines a set of `describe` blocks, of which only one needs to pass.

#### `describe.one` usage notes
* A `describe.one` block passes if one of its nested `describe` blocks has all assertions passing. That is, it needs an entire `describe` block to pass and not just a single assertion.
* InSpec will always evaluate all the tests contained within `describe.one`. It does not short-circuit upon evaluating a passing `describe` block.

* Nesting a `describe.one` block inside another `describe.one` block is not supported.
### Sensitive resources
In some scenarios, you may be writing checks involving resources with sensitive content (e.g. a file resource). In the case of failures, it may be desired to suppress output. This can be done by adding the `:sensitive` flag to the resource definition
