EC2 resource type only appears to take an instance ID about awspec HOT 3 OPEN

Hi @ajlanghorn !

If the Name tag value is unique in instances, ec2 resource can detect instance by the Name tag value. ( see https://github.com/k1LoW/awspec/blob/master/spec/type/ec2_spec.rb#L34 )

If there are instances with same name tag,

throw Awspec::DuplicatedResourceTypeError

(And see #155 (comment))

from awspec.

Hi @k1LoW! Thanks; I've got a few instances with the same value for the Name tag, but a different value for a separate tag. I'd love it if I can get something like:

describe ec2('name') do
    it { should have_tag('env').value('production') }
end

to work, because then I can differentiate based on the env tag's value, without changing the rest of my test.

Hi!

I think " *spec (like awspec / RSpec / Serverspec) should detect resource uniquely "

For example

1. Running instance => Instance ID: i-abcdefg / tag name 'name' / tag env 'production'
2. Running instance => Instance ID: i-123456 / tag name 'name' / tag env 'development'

Your spec can not report true or false.

So awspec throw Awspec::DuplicatedResourceTypeError.

Best Regards.
