title: About the yum Resource
---
# yum
Use the `yum` InSpec audit resource to test packages in the Yum repository.
<br>
## Syntax
A `yum` resource block declares a package repo, tests if the package repository is present, and if it that package repository is a valid package source (i.e. "is enabled"):
describe yum.repo('name') do
it { should exist }
it { should be_enabled }
end
where
* `repo('name')` is the (optional) name of a package repo, using either a full identifier (`'updates/7/x86_64'`) or a short identifier (`'updates'`)
<br>
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### Test if the yum repo exists
describe yum do
its('repos') { should exist }
end
### Test if the 'base/7/x86_64' repo exists and is enabled
describe yum do
its('repos') { should include 'base/7/x86_64' }
its('epel') { should exist }
its('epel') { should be_enabled }
end
### Test if a specific yum repo exists
describe yum.repo('epel') do
it { should exist }
it { should be_enabled }
end
### Test a particular repository configuration, such as its Base URL
describe yum.repo('mycompany-artifacts') do
it { should exist }
it { should be_enabled }
its('baseurl') { should include 'mycompany.biz' }
end
<br>
## Matchers
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers. For a full list of available matchers please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
### be_enabled
The `be_enabled` matcher tests if the package repository is a valid package source:
it { should be_enabled }
### exist
The `exist` matcher tests if the package repository exists:
it { should exist }
### repo('name')
The `repo('name')` matcher names a specific package repository:
describe yum.repo('epel') do
...
end
### repos
The `repos` matcher tests if a named repo, using either a full identifier (`'updates/7/x86_64'`) or a short identifier (`'updates'`), is included in the Yum repo:
its('repos') { should include 'some_repo' }
### shortname
The `shortname` matcher names a specific package repository's group identifier. For example, if a repository's group name is "Directory Server", the corresponding group idenfier is typically "directory-server":
describe yum.repo('Directory Server') do
its('shortname') { should eq 'directory-server' }
end
