title: About the yaml Resource
---
# yaml
Use the `yaml` InSpec audit resource to test configuration data in a Yaml file.
# Syntax
A `yaml` resource block declares the configuration data to be tested. Assume the following Yaml file:
name: foo
array:
- zero
- one
This file can be queried using:
describe yaml do
its('name') { should eq 'foo' }
its(['array', 1]) { should eq 'one' }
end
where
* `name` is a configuration setting in a Yaml file
* `should eq 'foo'` tests a value of `name` as read from a Yaml file versus the value declared in the test
# Matchers
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers:
## be
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_be" %>
## cmp
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_cmp" %>
## eq
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_eq" %>
## include
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_include" %>
## match
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_match" %>
## name
The `name` matcher tests the value of `name` as read from a Yaml file versus the value declared in the test:
its('name') { should eq 'foo' }
# Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
## Test a kitchen.yml file driver
describe yaml('.kitchen.yaml') do
its('driver.name') { should eq('vagrant') }
end
