After upgrading Inspec from version 3.5.0 to 4.16.0, I've faced next issue:

    # inspec compliance upload linux-profile --overwrite

The same issue I faced with Inspec 4.7.3

I've checked it on different platforms: MacOS, Centos7.

Could you please advice how can I solve this issue?

I can guess, that this parameter is getting from https://github.com/dev-sec/linux-baseline, which I use for inspec tests.

It worked in proper way with Inspec 3.5.0 version and it is working in proper way now with 3.5.0 version.

  • you did not post your inspec code so it is hard to tell. please refer to the last line of your log and debug your program - `'method_missing': undefined local variable or method 'virtualization'` – Mr. Sep 16 '19 at 09:04
  • Hello @Mr! Looks like, that smth wrong linux-baseline. My code: docker = file('/.dockerenv').exist? vbox = file('/var/log/vboxadd-setup.log').exist? control 'local-timezone' do impact 1.0 title 'timezone' desc 'Check UTC' # Check timezone describe command('date') do its('stdout') { should match(/UTC/) } end end inspect.yml file name: base-inspec_profile title: Test maintainer: Ihor copyright: Ihor copyright_email: ihorkanivets@gmail.com version: 0.0.1 supports: - os-family: debian depends: - name: linux-baseline git: https://github.com/dev-sec/linux-baseline – Игорь Канивец Sep 16 '19 at 10:29
  • @Mr. I can find method virtualization in the https://github.com/dev-sec/linux-baseline inspec. It located in 3 control files: os_spec.rb, packages_spec.rb, sysctl_spec.rb. I've already checked uplading to new Chef-Automate server with inspec 4.16.0 version - the same issue. So it looks like, inspec https://github.com/dev-sec/linux-baseline somehow not compatible with inspec 4.16.0 version, because it works properly with Inspec 3.5.0. if additional information required from my side - let me please know. Thanks for helping. – Игорь Канивец Sep 16 '19 at 10:51
  • UPDATE: I've already checked it with linux-baseline guys https://github.com/dev-sec/linux-baseline/issues/122 it looks like, that it isn't their issue. Continue investigation. – Игорь Канивец Sep 16 '19 at 12:48
  • When I excluded linux-baseline it showed me next error: '/opt/inspec/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/inspec-4.16.0/lib/inspec/dsl.rb:47:in method_missing': undefined method file' for #<#:0x00007f913f89c218> (NoMethodError)' After I changing from: 'docker = file('/.dockerenv').exist?' to 'docker = File.file?('/.dockerenv')' I could upload profile to CA successfully, so I think, that it something changed in inspec and currently it doesn't work. I guess the same issue with "virtualization" error, because it also uses method. Regards, Ihor – Игорь Канивец Sep 17 '19 at 09:01
