Inspec::Plugin::V2::InstallError Errors with Version Mismatch and Plugin Install

Chef InSpec

I am starting to doubt this is a problem with this plugin.

What can I be doing wrong?

$ which inspec
/Users/myuser/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.1/bin/inspec
$ inspec version
4.23.11
$ inspec plugin list

Hi -

It's difficult to say what's happening there, but the stacktrace does mention InSpec 4.23.10 when you are using 4.23.11 - is the ruby and gem setup clean?

3

Sorry, I must have missed that. Let me clean up my gem setup and try again.

I was having trouble doing this in docker as well and thought it was container related, and boy did I seem wrong! Ha.

I'll report back.

4

If you need further help (e.g. posting stacktraces and debug info) please give us a shout in the #inspec channel of Chef Community Slack

5

Alright I guess will come reach out. To avoid version conflicts, deleted the same official docker image, no local rvm build, and a more clear net-ssh-x.y.z error resurfaces.

$ docker system prune --all --force
$ docker pull chef/inspec:latest
$ docker run chef/inspec:latest version --chef-license=accept

4.21.3

$ docker run -it chef/inspec:latest plugin install inspec-resource-pack --chef-license=accept --log-level=debug
