Question regarding verifier settings

[paulcalabro]

Hi,

Will the latest tagged release support the new verifier settings provided in the docs:

verifier:
  name: inspec
  format: junit
  output: path/to/results/%{platform}_%{suite}_inspec.xml

Thanks,
Paul

p.s. The reason why I ask is that we need to use a pinned version of the gem and last I checked that version did not support it. I could be wrong though.

Just try it out?

You could also choose to pin it to the latest development version until a new tagged version will get release. It supports the new reporter option which also allows multiple reporters/outputs, so for example junit + commandline.

gem 'kitchen-inspec', :git => 'https://github.com/inspec/kitchen-inspec.git', :ref => '09976b4'

verifier:
  name: inspec
  reporter:
    - cli 
    - junit:path/to/results/%{platform}_%{suite}_inspec.xml

Yeah, I was trying it out at the time, however, it was a little confusing because the docs refer to a syntax that's doesn't apply to the latest gem available. I ended up pinning it to the dev version, which worked fine. Any idea when a new tagged release will be out?

Ah yes i also ran into the issue of trying to use the new syntax and it not working, because I just installed the latest gem. Would also like to know when the available gem will have this baked in.

Thank you for raising the question. We release 0.24.0 that included an updated readme to reflect the new behaviour, see https://github.com/inspec/kitchen-inspec#custom-outputs

The following works in the released kitchen-inspec:

    verifier:
      reporter:
        - progress
        - junit:/tmp/%{platform}_%{suite}_inspec.xml
        - json:/tmp/%{platform}_%{suite}_inspec.json

I am going to close this issue, since all the information is provided. Feel free to re-open if we missed anything.
