@esaravanakumar89 you have to use ${filekey_path}. ${env.<key>} is for groovy interpolations mostly. I also don't see the command being executed inside a sh block. This would be the syntax I would use:

withCredentials([file(credentialsId: 'username', variable: 'filekey_path')]) {
  sh 'inspec exec test_profile -i ${filekey_path} --diagnose --log-level=debug --sudo -t ssh://testuesr@testserver'
}

I might use bash rather than sh. Remember the Jenkins process has to have access to the gems in order to execute inspec. Last time I did this I had a fun time ensuring that the sub shell of the task actually had access to the inspec installation. Just something to keep in mind.

@aaronlippold that sh is the jenkins dsl for executing shell commands, it's upto the user to select the interpreter.

Eg:

sh '''#!/bin/bash -l
<commands>
'''

Thank you for your help and suggestion. I tried it was not working, but I got a weird solution to make it work, I have downgraded train gem from v1.7.2 to v1.5.0. I don’t know why It is working Is that a bug with train gem ? Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Moving this issue to train.

Outside of a Jenkins setup, I am able to successfully use InSpec 4.18.100 and train 3.2.23 to run inspec detect on a Vagrant virtual machine:

inspec detect -t ssh://[email protected]:2222 -i ../vagrants/ubuntu-16/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key

detect simply connects and runs platform detection, which would be enough to trigger the issue you are reporting; but here it does not.

I feel inspec 1.7.0 to inspec 2.x having problem. I have seen the same issue in train-1.7.2 today. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
