Examples

Ensure an injection match set is available.

describe aws_waf_sql_injection_match_set(sql_injection_match_set_id: 'SQL_INJECTION_MATCH_SET_ID') do
  its('sql_injection_match_set_id') { should eq 'SQL_INJECTION_MATCH_SET_ID' }
end

Ensure an injection match set is available..

describe aws_waf_sql_injection_match_set(sql_injection_match_set_id: 'SQL_INJECTION_MATCH_SET_ID') do
    its('name') { should eq 'SQL_INJECTION_MATCH_SET_NAME' }
end

Ensure an injection match set type is HEADER.

describe aws_waf_sql_injection_match_set(sql_injection_match_set_id: 'SQL_INJECTION_MATCH_SET_ID') do
    its('sql_injection_match_tuples_field_to_match_types') { should include 'HEADER' }
end
