Add way to define alternate test-path about kitchen-inspec

[AnotherNerdHere]

Based on the info in https://github.com/chef/inspec/tree/master/examples/profile, being able to specify path names either local paths or local git repo (bitbucket/stash) would be helpful. We don't use github for our vcs.

@rndmh3ro This is not restricted to kitchen-inspec and is expected behaviour in test-kitchen. Test directories are determined by test/integration/%suite-name%.

As highlighted in my response in dev-sec/ansible-ssh-hardening#61, I propose we use real InSpec profiles for the test suites and remote profiles in combination with kitchen-inspec.

suites:
  - name: default
    run_list:
      - recipe[ssh-hardening::default]
    verifier:
      inspec_tests:
        - https://github.com/hardening-io/tests-ssh-hardening/tree/2.0

My employer has enterprise github. I would like to have Inspec tests stored in separate audit cookbooks and pull them from github.mycompany.com ... kitchen-inspec only works if https://github.com/ is the beginning of the URL (from what I can discern...)

[chris-rock]

You can easily pass a path:

suites:
  - name: default
    run_list:
      - recipe[ssh-hardening::default]
    verifier:
      inspec_tests:
        - /path/to/profile

@jcii right now, InSpec only understands github url, but we could find a way to make that happen. The only piece that needs some adaption is: https://github.com/chef/inspec/blob/master/lib/fetchers/url.rb Therefore it is not a limitation of kitchen-inspec, but inspec.

@chris-rock I`m wondering to know is that possible to use bitbucket insted of github?

[chris-rock]

@aidda Yes we have bitbucket support, although it is not well documented yet. Please help us to make it better! You can see possible urls here: https://github.com/chef/inspec/blob/master/lib/fetchers/url.rb#L46-L63

@chris-rock I was checking this link yesterday ;) and add bitbucket url in kitchen-inspec. it was working perefctly. I`ll update the documents! thanks

[chris-rock]

Awesome. Thank you @aidda

It appears this issue is resolved, and the generic url fetcher can be used to pull a .tar.gz file from an enterprise github if needed (just navigate to the "releases" section of the repo to find the exact URL you need).
