General question: I was attempting to use this branch in my profile with the following depends block in my inspec.yml:

depends:
- name: inspec-azure
  git: https://github.com/inspec/inspec-azure
  branch: azure_generic_resources

But was receiving an error around a require_relative statement:

1: from libraries/azure_backend.rb:1:in 'load_with_context'
libraries/azure_backend.rb:1:in 'require_relative': cannot load such file -- C:/infrastructure_test_profiles/libraries/backend/azure_connection

As you can see, it is looking for the azure_connection file within the folder in which I am executing inspec exec
I realize this may not be the documented way of using this resource pack, but I thought I should mention it in case this is not the intended behavior. Am I doing something wrong using the dependency in this way?

Thanks for this excellent catch, @NathanPrado. Fixing this unearthed some other issues as well.
There are some new dependencies that need to be added to the train plug-in. see
Until then, you can clone this branch and test it locally.
Please check project readme and example inspec.yml.

I really appreciate your effort, thank for looking into that. Glad to kill off more bugs. I tried pulling down the latest of this branch locally and referencing it in my tests but got this error now

1: from C:/opscode/inspec/embedded/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
C:/opscode/inspec/embedded/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': cannot load such file -- facets/string (LoadError)|

Am I missing a step? Please let me know what I can do to help!

@NathanPrado
Additional gems are removed, and this should work now.
Please see here for testing a new branch in isolation.

This is fantastic work @omerdemirok !!

[rmoles]

Excellent work @omerdemirok! This is a great improvement on the Azure resource pack.

@omerdemirok - Can we use azure_generic_resources with this new version? I thought recent inspec versions don't have that.

[omerdemirok]

@Sum123it, you should be able to use it if you point the depends to the version v1.20.0.
Replace x with v1.20.0 in this example inspec.yml
