Version:

I installed inspec yesterday from the website and --version shows 4.52.9

Environment:

Windows 11, PowerShell 5.1

Scenario:

I'm trying to use inspec as described in VMware's dod-compliance-and-automation repository

Steps to Reproduce:

Install inspec on Windows 11, clone the dod compliance repo, move the directories to the appropriate paths. Set appropriate environmental variables as described in their repo.

Run C:\opscode\inspec\bin\inspec.bat exec C:\Inspec\Profiles\vmware-vsphere-vcenter-7.0-stig-baseline -t vmware:// from PowerShell 5.1 on Windows 11, as described in the docs.

Expected Result:

No exceptions

Actual Result:

I filed an issue here https://github.com/vmware/dod-compliance-and-automation/issues/74 but they suggested it's an issue with train.

Thanks, Chrissy

Thanks, @Vasu1105 -- any chance this train can be added to the installers on https://www.chef.io/downloads/tools/inspec

For anyone who doesn't know anything about Ruby, like me, this will get you updated nicely on Windows.

$ENV:RUBYOPT = 'rubygems'
$ENV:RUBY_DIR = 'C:\opscode\inspec\embedded'
$ENV:GEM_PATH = 'C:\opscode\inspec\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\2.7.0\gems'
$ENV:PATH = 'C:\opscode\inspec\embedded\bin;' + $ENV:PATH
gem update train
