# Migrate from Serverspec to InSpec
|
|
|
|
## How is Chef InSpec different from Serverspec
|
|
|
|
We've written a complete blog post about that topic: [The Road to InSpec](https://blog.chef.io/2015/11/04/the-road-to-inspec/)
|
|
|
|
## Is Chef InSpec suitable for infrastructure testing?
|
|
|
|
Chef InSpec is a framework that allows you to run infrastructure testing as well as compliance testing. The compliance features are always optional and provide customers a way to use Chef InSpec for both use-cases. To ensure we build the best infrastructure testing, we migrate our cookbooks [chef-cookbooks](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks) to InSpec.

## How do I migrate my Serverspec tests to InSpec
|
|
|
|
For most cases, the migration to Chef InSpec is pretty straight forward. First, replace the current verifier in `kitchen.yml` configuration with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
verifier:
|
|
name: inspec
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Second, rename the directory `test/integration/default/serverspec` to
|
|
`test/integration/default/inspec`
|
|
|
|
Third, remove the Serverspec-specific code from the test files.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
require 'serverspec'
|
|
|
|
# Required by serverspec
|
|
set :backend, :exec
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Chef InSpec is now configured with Test-Kitchen:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kitchen verify package-install-centos-72
|
|
-----> Starting Kitchen (v1.14.2)
|
|
-----> Verifying <package-install-centos-72>...
|
|
Detected alternative framework tests for `inspec`
|
|
Loaded
|
|
|
|
Target: ssh://vagrant@127.0.0.1:2200
|
|
|
|
|
|
PHP has
|
|
✔ php
|
|
✔ the pear.php.net channel
|
|
✔ the pecl.php.net channel
|
|
|
|
Test Summary: 3 successful, 0 failures, 0 skipped
|
|
Finished verifying <package-install-centos-72> (0m0.40s).
|
|
-----> Kitchen is finished. (0m3.31s)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Some real-world migrations are available:
|
|
|
|
* [docker](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/docker)
|
|
* [nginx](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/chef_nginx/pull/5/files)
|
|
* [mysql](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/mysql/pull/430/files)
|
|
* [php](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/php/pull/189/files)
|
|
|
|
Some general recommendations:
|
|
|
|
* use test-kitchen 1.14+
|
|
* in case of errors, increase the log level `kitchen verify package-install-centos-72 -l debug`
|
|
|
|
## Do I still need the backend configuration?
|
|
|
|
Chef InSpec does not attach backend information to test files. All tests are defined independently of any backend. Therefore a Serverspec test file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
require 'serverspec'
|
|
|
|
# Required by serverspec
|
|
set :backend, :exec
|
|
|
|
describe 'PHP' do
|
|
it 'has php' do
|
|
expect(command('php -v').exit_status).to eq(0)
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
it 'has the pear.php.net channel' do
|
|
expect(command('pear list-channels').stdout).to include('pear.php.net')
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
it 'has the pecl.php.net channel' do
|
|
expect(command('pear list-channels').stdout).to include('pecl.php.net')
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will become the following Chef InSpec test file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
describe 'PHP' do
|
|
it 'has php' do
|
|
expect(command('php -v').exit_status).to eq(0)
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
it 'has the pear.php.net channel' do
|
|
expect(command('pear list-channels').stdout).to include('pear.php.net')
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
it 'has the pecl.php.net channel' do
|
|
expect(command('pear list-channels').stdout).to include('pecl.php.net')
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As you can see, the Chef InSpec test files just focuses on tests and tries to avoid all clutter.
|
|
|
|
## Nested describe blocks
|
|
|
|
Serverspec and RSpec allow you to define nested describe blocks. We did a survey and found out that most users use nested describe blocks only to improve their output report. We believe the code structure should not change to improve the output of a report. Nevertheless we understand that nested describe blocks help you to structure test code. A sample code block looks like:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
describe 'chef-server-directories' do
|
|
describe file('/etc/opscode') do
|
|
it { should be_directory }
|
|
it { should be_owned_by 'root' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe file('/etc/opscode-analytics') do
|
|
it { should be_directory }
|
|
it { should be_owned_by 'opscode' }
|
|
it { should be_grouped_into 'opscode' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe file('/var/log/opscode') do
|
|
it { should be_directory }
|
|
it { should be_owned_by 'opscode' }
|
|
it { should be_grouped_into 'opscode' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe file('/var/opt/opscode') do
|
|
it { should be_directory }
|
|
it { should be_owned_by 'root' }
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In Chef InSpec you would split up groups into files.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tests
|
|
├── server-directories.rb
|
|
├── other-tests.rb
|
|
└── further-tests.rb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each file can have a top-level description of its content:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
title "Chef Server Directories"
|
|
|
|
describe file('/etc/opscode') do
|
|
it { should be_directory }
|
|
it { should be_owned_by 'root' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe file('/etc/opscode-analytics') do
|
|
it { should be_directory }
|
|
it { should be_owned_by 'opscode' }
|
|
it { should be_grouped_into 'opscode' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe file('/var/log/opscode') do
|
|
it { should be_directory }
|
|
it { should be_owned_by 'opscode' }
|
|
it { should be_grouped_into 'opscode' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe file('/var/opt/opscode') do
|
|
it { should be_directory }
|
|
it { should be_owned_by 'root' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Are you supporting the `expect` syntax?
|
|
|
|
Of course. We still prefer the `should` syntax for UX reasons. We did surveys with various types of customers like devops engineers, auditors, managers. All participants who preferred the `expect` syntax have been Ruby experts. All non-Ruby developers found it easier to understand the `should` syntax.
|
|
|
|
### `should` syntax with InSpec
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
describe command('php -v') do
|
|
its('exit_status') { should eq 0 }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe command('pear list-channels') do
|
|
its('stdout') { should include('pear.php.net')}
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe command('pear list-channels') do
|
|
its('stdout') { should include('pecl.php.net')}
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `expect` syntax with InSpec
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
describe 'PHP' do
|
|
it 'has php' do
|
|
expect(command('php -v').exit_status).to eq(0)
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
it 'has the pear.php.net channel' do
|
|
expect(command('pear list-channels').stdout).to include('pear.php.net')
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
it 'has the pecl.php.net channel' do
|
|
expect(command('pear list-channels').stdout).to include('pecl.php.net')
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
