An aws_vpn_connection resource block declares the tests for a single AWS VPN connection by vpn_connection_id.

describe aws_vpn_connection(vpn_connection_id: 'vpn-1234567890') do
  it { should exist }
end

describe aws_vpn_connection('vpn-1234567890') do
  it { should exist }
end

vpn_connection_id (required): The identifier of the AWS VPN connection. It can be passed either as a string or as a vpn_connection_id: 'value' hash key-value entry.

vpn_connection_id: The identifier of the AWS VPN connection.
state: The current state of the VPN connection. Possible values are: pending, available, deleting, and deleted.
type: The type of VPN connection that the VPN connection supports.
vpn_gateway_id: The ID of the associated VPN.
tags: All tags that are associated with the VPN connection.

There are also additional properties available. For a comprehensive list, see the API reference documentation.

describe aws_vpn_connection('vpn-1234567890') do
    its('vpn_connection_id') { should eq 'vpn-1234567890' }
end

describe aws_vpn_connection('vpn-1234567890') do
    its('status') { should eq 'available' }
end

For a full list of available matchers, see our Universal Matchers page.

The control passes if the get method returns at least one result.

Use should to test that the entity exists.

describe aws_vpn_connection('vpn-1234567890') do
  it { should exist }
end

Use should_not to test that the entity does not exist.

describe aws_vpn_connection('vpn-1234567890') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Your Principal will need the EC2:Client:DescribeVpnConnectionsResult action with Effect set to Allow.
