# csv
|
|
|
|
Use the `csv` InSpec audit resource to test configuration data in a CSV file.
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
A `csv` resource block declares the configuration data to be tested:
|
|
|
|
describe csv('file') do
|
|
its('name') { should eq 'foo' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `'file'` is the path to a CSV file
|
|
* `name` is a configuration setting in a CSV file
|
|
* `should eq 'foo'` tests a value of `name` as read from a CSV file versus the value declared in the test
|
