  it { should exist }
end

Use should_not to test the entity does not exist.

describe aws_ec2_eip_association(association_id: 'ASSOCIATION_ID') do
  it { should_not exist }

Check if the entity is available.

describe aws_ec2_eip_association(association_id: 'ASSOCIATION_ID') do
  it { should be_available }
end
