Chef Release Announcements

Ohai, friends!

I’m pleased to announce the availability of InSpec v1.23.0. Some goodies include:

  • enhancement: inspec exec will exit and provide an error message if --sudo is used without a --target; --sudo is only effective with remote scans
  • enhancement: a new inspec.profile.file method has been provided to read in arbitrary non-controls / non-resource files from within a profile, useful for shipping data inside your profile without embedding it in a control file
  • bug fix / enhancement: Habitat-built InSpec profiles now include the hab package so it can be used inside controls/tests, also includes some cleanup and other fixes
  • bug fix: fixed an issue with the xinetd resource causing an error if the configuration files were not readable by the user executing the InSpec tests
  • Some deprecated features that were meant to be removed in InSpec v1.0 have finally been removed

As usual, InSpec v1.23.0 is available via RubyGems, downloads.chef.io, the Habitat Depot, and Docker Hub.

Thanks!
