Syntax

A google_compute_network is used to test a Google Network resource

Beta Resource

This resource has beta fields available. To retrieve these fields, include beta: true in the constructor for the resource

Examples

describe google_compute_network(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', name: 'inspec-network') do
  it { should exist }
  its('routing_config.routing_mode') { should cmp 'REGIONAL' }
end

describe google_compute_network(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', name: 'nonexistent') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Test that a GCP compute network exists

describe google_compute_network(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  name: 'gcp-inspec-network') do
  it { should exist }
end

Test when a GCP compute network was created

describe google_compute_network(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  name: 'gcp-inspec-network') do
  its('creation_timestamp_date') { should be > Time.now - 365*60*60*24*10 }
end

Test for an expected network identifier

describe google_compute_network(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  name: 'gcp-inspec-network') do
  its('id') { should eq 12345567789 }
end

Test whether a single attached subnetwork name is correct

describe google_compute_network(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  name: 'gcp-inspec-network') do
  its ('subnetworks.count') { should eq 1 }
  its ('subnetworks.first') { should match "subnetwork-name"}
end

Test whether the network is configured to automatically create subnetworks or not

describe google_compute_network(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  name: 'gcp-inspec-network') do
  its ('auto_create_subnetworks'){ should be false }
end

Check the network routing configuration routing mode

describe google_compute_network(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  name: 'gcp-inspec-network') do
  its ('routing_config.routing_mode') { should eq "REGIONAL" }
end

Properties

Properties that can be accessed from the google_compute_network resource:

  • description: An optional description of this resource. The resource must be recreated to modify this field.

  • gateway_ipv4: The gateway address for default routing out of the network. This value is selected by GCP.

  • id: The unique identifier for the resource.

  • name: Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

  • subnetworks: Server-defined fully-qualified URLs for all subnetworks in this network.

  • auto_create_subnetworks: When set to true, the network is created in “auto subnet mode” and it will create a subnet for each region automatically across the 10.128.0.0/9 address range. When set to false, the network is created in “custom subnet mode” so the user can explicitly connect subnetwork resources.

  • creation_timestamp: Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

  • routing_config: The network-level routing configuration for this network. Used by Cloud Router to determine what type of network-wide routing behavior to enforce.

    • routing_mode: The network-wide routing mode to use. If set to REGIONAL, this network’s cloud routers will only advertise routes with subnetworks of this network in the same region as the router. If set to GLOBAL, this network’s cloud routers will advertise routes with all subnetworks of this network, across regions. Possible values:
      • REGIONAL
      • GLOBAL
