inspec_wrapper_with_input

An InSpec wrapper profile example that child profiles and passes input variables

The input amplifier_max_volume and amplifier_text is passed from the Wrapper to the Child and Child2.

The Child input value is:

inputs:
- name: amplifier_max_volume
  value: 2
- name: amplifier_max_volume_child_1
  value: 200
- name: amplifier_text
  value: 'rees'

The Child2 input value is:

inputs:
- name: amplifier_max_volume
  value: 6
- name: amplifier_max_volume_child_2
  value: 600
- name: amplifier_text
  value: 'anthony'

The Wrapper input value is:

depends:
- name: child
  path: ../child
- name: child2
  path: ../child2
inputs:
- name: amplifier_max_volume
- name: amplifier_text
- name: amplifier_max_volume_child_1
- name: amplifier_max_volume_child_2

Run it

Run it from the Wrapper which will execute the child and child2 profile. The input is passed in from the Wrapper profile.

cd wrapper

Now execute the InSpec test and pass in the inputs

inspec exec . --input amplifier_max_volume=1400 amplifier_max_volume_child_1=2400 amplifier_max_volume_child_2=3400 amplifier_text='reesy'

Vendor

InSpec can download all dependencies and generate a lockfile in a vendor directory.

The command is run from the inspec_wrapper_with_input directory :

inspec vendor wrapper/ --overwrite && inspec exec --log-level=debug wrapper/ --input amplifier_max_volume=1400 amplifier_max_volume_child_1=2400 amplifier_max_volume_child_2=3400 amplifier_text='reesy'

The vendor output will produce a inspec.lock file like this with all the dependencies:

---
lockfile_version: 1
depends:
- name: child
  resolved_source:
    path: "/Users/me/src/inspec/inspec_wrapper_with_input/child"
    sha256: b089542b1d38a7f9139e3930fa8030d21263b7a85b7748dd8b084b8088f4da71
  version_constraints: []
- name: child2
  resolved_source:
    path: "/Users/me/src/inspec/inspec_wrapper_with_input/child2"
    sha256: dcc5d3ba68744288fe1230718d7d07226b6547157a64eebea1c71993884d229f
  version_constraints: []

Your output will look like this:

inspec vendor wrapper/ --overwrite && inspec exec --log-level=debug wrapper/ --input amplifier_max_volume=1400 amplifier_max_volume_child_1=2400 amplifier_max_volume_child_2=3400
