Chef-client version

14.2.0

Platform Details

Windows 2016 Standard Edition

Run the cookbook fine.

Actual Result:

First error after the run:

Error executing action install on resource 'inspec_gem[inspec]'

NameError

undefined local variable or method `version' for #<#Class:0x0000000004eeece8:0x00000000042b9428>

And then:

================================================================================
Recipe Compile Error in C:/chef/cache/cookbooks/iga-audit/recipes/default.rb

NameError

inspec_gem[inspec] (audit::inspec line 20) had an error: NameError: undefined local variable or method `version' for #<#Class:0x0000000004eeece8:0x00000000042b9428>

Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue and pulled a newer version of the audit cookbook and that error went away.
