Unable to fetch profiles from chef server

[jillson]

Cookbook version

Edit: 7.4.0 (and also 7.3.0)

Chef-client version

14.8.12

Platform Details

RHEL 7.6 on AWS EC2 instance. We appear to be using inspec 3.0.61 (bundled with chef client)

Scenario:

We have chef server configured to proxy requests to chef automate for profiles, and then publish the results of the audit cookbook through chef server to chef automate.

Steps to Reproduce:

Followed standard configuration as far as I know. Using the bottom configuration option from https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/audit/blob/master/docs/supported_configuration.md (i.e.

Expected Result:

Audit results published

Actual Result:

Using the stock code, I get an error. The error message is [] is undefined for URI::HTTPS. The real meaning is that the code was being passed in a URI:HTTPS but was expecting either a string (which gets parsed to a URI:HTTPS) or a hash (which will have a :url value that gets passed as a string to be parsed).

If I edit line 123 or so in * /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/inspec-core-3.0.61/lib/fetchers/url.rb * to add

puts "Monkey patching if target is already URI:HTTPS",target.class
      return target if target.is_a?(URI::HTTPS)

at the top of the * def parse_uri(target) * method, then I get the expected result.

Currently updating to 7.4.0; will update issue (and/or close) shortly

Just to make sure this isn't going to get auto-closed because I misunderstood: is there more information I need to provide? (To confirm: I did update to 7.4.0 and still had same issue. )

@jillson apologies for the late follow-up, but is this still an issue in the latest version of the cookbook?

Unfortunately, not able to test currently. I gave up and just kept my monkeypatch in place
