Not able to validate package installation on windows using inspec

382 views Asked by At

I want to know how to validate the installation of a package/application ( ON WINDOWS machine ) through inspec. I tried using package command to test but it didn't work.

Control :

describe package ('java') do it { should be_installed } end

Error :

System Package java × System Package java should be installed expected that System Package java is installed

What's wrong here or are there any other ways to achieve this?

describe package 'Java SE Development Kit 8 Update 111 (64-bit)' do
  it { should be_installed }
end

The name of the package should be the one you see in "Programs and Features" in Control Panel.
