The goal of this change is to provide an isolated view of the available
profiles when the user calls the include_controls or require_controls
APIs. Namely,
- A profile should only be able to reference profiles that are part of
its transitive dependency tree. That is, if the dependency tree for a
profile looks like the following:
A
|- B --> C
|
|- D --> E
Then profile B should only be able to see profile C and fail if it
tries to reference A, D, or E.
- The same profile should be include-able at different versions from
different parts of the tree without conflict. That is, if the
dependency tree for a profile looks like the following:
A
|- B --> C@1.0
|
|- D --> C@2.0
Then profile B should see the 1.0 version of C and profile D should
see the 2.0 profile C with respect to the included controls.
To achieve these goals we:
- Ensure that we construct ProfileContext objects with respect to the
correct dependencies in Inspec::DSL.
- Provide a method of accessing all transitively defined rules on a
ProfileContext without pushing all of the rules onto the same global
namespace.
This does not yet handle attributes or libraries.
