inspec2xccdf does not generate benchmark metadata that matches DISA's

[rlakey]

When generating xccdf with inspec_tools and importing it into STIG Viewer it does not display the same metadata at the top of a control as a DISA generated xccdf.

inspec_tools example:

<Benchmark xmlns="http://checklists.nist.gov/xccdf/1.1" xmlns:cpe="http://cpe.mitre.org/language/2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:dsig="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" id="VMW_Photon_OS_3.0_STIG_Readiness_Guide">

Updated to match DISA:

@rlakey is this behavior present when you are using a a metadata.json to provide this information?

Is this closed by mitre/inspec_tools#246

I don't think so because this is discussing inspec2xccdf not inspec2ckl.

I haven't tried that since I was assuming this would come from the attributes yaml.

Sorry about asking a beginner's (Inspec/Ruby) question here because I don't where to pose it - how do I set up Inspec_Tools on a Windows machine (running inspec-4.50.3.1-x64 and rubyinstaller-3.0.3-1-x64.exe)? I have recently started to use a Powershell script, but can't seem to get the call to inspec_tools command to work.

        $cklCommand = {inspec_tools inspec2ckl -j $reportFile -o $cklFile}
        Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $cklCommand
