Cookbook version

Chef-client version

Platform Details

Ubuntu 14.04.5

Scenario:

Trying to use json-file reporter.

Steps to Reproduce:

{
  "audit": {
    "reporter": ["chef-server-automate", "json-file"],
    "insecure": true,
    "profiles": [
      {
        "name": "linux",
        "compliance": "admin/linux"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Expected Result:

The file saved to disk should contain the report in JSON format.

Actual Result:

The file saved to disk contains the ruby hash of the report.

Reason:

The bug is in this line.

https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/audit/blob/v4.0.0/libraries/reporters/json_file.rb#L19

It should be changed to the following.

      json_file.puts(JSON.generate(report))
