not working under windows, installed from gem

[graf0]

• I installed inpsec from gem
• I ran (from privileged powershell) command: inspec detect
• I've got:

{"name":null,"family":null,"release":null,"arch":null}

• then I've created file test.rb with content (from inspec doc):

describe port(80) do
  it { should_not be_listening }
end

describe port(443) do
  it { should be_listening }
  its('protocols') {should include 'tcp'}
end

• I ran: inspec exec test.rb
• I've got:

I don't know, and couldn't find how to make it work :(

windows version 7 x64, ruby 2.0.0p645 32-bit, inspec gem 0.9.6

Same situation after trying ruby 2.2.3 - both: 32-bit and 64-bit version

I have a similar problem on Windows through Test Kitchen via the Chef DK 0.10.0. The os object doesn't seem to be functioning properly.

The following commands all return false.

puts os.redhat?
puts os.debian?
puts os.suse?
puts os.bsd?
puts os.solaris?
puts os.linux?
puts os.unix?
puts os.windows?

@graf0 Thanks you very much for your feedback. As you figured out, InSpec does not work properly with local mode on Windows. Currently InSpec only works well if used via WinRM. The problem is located in the os-family detection in https://github.com/chef/train/blob/master/lib/train/extras/os_common.rb#L90. I started working on a fix and got this working on Windows 10. We run some extra tests with Windows 7.

We expect to release a fix for InSpec by end of this week. In the meantime you can use InSpec via WinRM only.

@geerzo I assume this is a different issue, since the detection for Windows is working via WinRM. Which gem versions of inspec and kitchen-inspec are you using? Could you share your gem list?

The PR inspec/train#43 fixes this issues mentioned by @graf0 . To explain the issues:
Train detected Windows properly on local mode via https://github.com/chef/train/blob/master/lib/train/transports/local_os.rb#L39. Afterwards train tried to detect the windows version with our detection script: https://github.com/chef/train/blob/master/lib/train/extras/os_detect_windows.rb#L56. This script failed due to the fact that we get a cmd shell on Windows (in contrast to WinRM where we get a PowerShell shell automatically). The PR adds the required functionality to ensure commands are executed via powershell if inspec runs on Windows locally.

Train 0.9.3 has been released and fixes this.
