[chef] Re: Chefspec question

hi bill,

I use it a lot to test our cookbooks. its particularly helpful if you use partials , etc. I know at least couple of other groups that are using it.

Note: i co-maintain chefspec with seth, so i am biased :0-)

I've only been using chefspec for about a month now and was wondering, Is this a good idea?

	it 'renders the file with content from ./spec/rendered_templates/template.conf' do template_conf = File.read('./spec/rendered_templates/template.conf')
	expect(chef_run).to render_file('/etc/template.conf').with_content(template_conf)
	end

With a known default rendered template in rendered_templates of course.  It was what I though render_file would expect but I never saw it as an example anywhere.  It works as I expected so I'm using it.  Just not seeing it elsewhere makes me think there's something I'm missing.

Thanks,
