Question

Any idea what im doing wrong i have chefworkstation installed:

$ chef -v
Chef Workstation version: 21.4.365
Chef Infra Client version: 16.12.3
Chef InSpec version: 4.29.3
Chef CLI version: 4.0.0
Chef Habitat version: 1.6.288
Test Kitchen version: 2.11.2
Cookstyle version: 7.10.0

aws cli is installed and i have set up a default credentials that are working (confirmed via deploying some tf code)

Created a folder and ran

inspec init profile --platform aws tftest

Install the aws-sdk for 2.7.3 (Using rbenv) and bundle to install the sdk

Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org/' do
    gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 3'
end

I then run:

inspec exec tftest -t aws://

and get the below error:

$ inspec exec tftest -t aws://

I tried updating my Gemfile to include gem 'aws-sdk-ecrpublic' but i still get the same error

folder layout is:

.
├── Gemfile
├── Gemfile.lock
├── README.md
├── .ruby-version
└── tftest
    ├── controls
    │   └── example.rb
    ├── inspec.lock
    ├── inspec.yml
    └── README.md

Any idea whats wrong?

Answer 1

its a very late answer to this question but inspec-aws has dependency on train-aws which need to be installed. https://github.com/inspec/train-aws
