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.
This extends the dependency feature to include support for url-based
dependencies. It takes some deviations from the current support for
URLs that we'll likely want to make more consistent.
By default, we store downloaded archives in the cache rather than the
unpacked archive. However, to facilitate debugging, we will prefer the
unpacked archive if we find it in the cache.

Instead of just removing all tests because of OS support, supports now acts by adding all tests to the execution context, but doesnt actually execute them. Instead tests are set to skip before they get to the actual execution context
Before introducing InSpec profiles in https://github.com/chef/inspec/pull/252 we had `metadata.rb` keep all information. This included an undisclosed field called `supports`. However, this field was never actually used in practice. So for legacy profiles, this means that `supports` was ignored. In order to keep old profiles running in exactly the way they were before, ignore this field when reading from metadata.rb
For reading the profiles metadata, we're using the train mock backend
through Inspec::Runner. The new `supports` feature never agrees with the
mock backend.
Now, it we figure out if this is a mock class and then just say that it
supports whatever we're asking for.
Tl;dr: there's probably a more beautiful solution to this.
Added a test case, but it fails -- while the command line interface
works fine.
