Test Flag
Sometimes, specially with a present , a present update or absent states, you would like to verify the changes that may happen before actually applying them
For that you can use the state flag “test”
--test, -t Set the idem run to execute in test mode. No changes
will be made, idem will only detect if changes will be
made in a real run.
As an example,
idem state states/my_resource_group_state.sls -t
After that Idem will provide similar output, indicating that the resource “would” and the actual operation
in this case, our state would update our Azure Resource Group named “moff-idem-01” with new meta-data if we decide to enforce it :
--------
ID: moff-idem-01
Function: azure.resource_management.resource_groups.present
Result: True
Comment: Would update azure.resource_management.resource_groups with parameters: {'tags': {'createdWith': 'idem'}}
Changes: None
