# inspec-reporter-html2 Plugin
|
|
|
|
An "improved" HTML output reporter specifically for Chef InSpec. Unlike the default `html` reporter, which is RSpec-based, this reporter knows about Chef InSpec structures like Controls and Profiles, and includes full metadata such as control tags, etc.
|
|
|
|
## To Install This Plugin
|
|
|
|
This plugin ships with Chef InSpec and requires no installation.
|
|
|
|
It should appear when you run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
you@machine $ inspec plugin list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to use this plugin
|
|
|
|
To generate an HTML report using this plugin and save the output to a file named `report.html`, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
you@machine $ inspec exec some_profile --reporter html2:report.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note the `2` in the reporter name. If you omit it and run `--reporter html` instead, you will run the legacy RSpec HTML reporter.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring the Plugin
|
|
|
|
The `html2` reporter requires no configuration to function. However, two options--`alternate_css_file` and `alternate_js_file`--are available for customization. The options are set in the JSON-formatted configuration file that Chef InSpec consumes. For details, see [our configuration file documentation](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/config/).
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"version": "1.2",
|
|
"plugins": {
|
|
"inspec-reporter-html2": {
|
|
"alternate_js_file":"/var/www/js/my-javascript.js",
|
|
"alternate_css_file":"/var/www/css/my-style.css"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### alternate\_css\_file
|
|
|
|
Specifies the full path to the location of a CSS file that will be read and inlined into the HTML report. The default CSS will not be included.
|
|
|
|
### alternate\_js\_file
|
|
|
|
Specifies the full path to the location of a JavaScript file that will be read and inlined into the HTML report. The default JavaScript will not be included. The JavaScript file should implement at least a `pageLoaded()` function, which will be called by the `onload` event of the HTML `body` element.
