Not a bug. This was a problem with an invalid name in the directory (the emoji).

[nnappe]

@zmaupin I'd open it back. Nevermind the emojis, the problem probably stems from poor UTF-8 character handling and there might be proper use cases for UTF-8 path names. :) Cheers

@zmaupin are you seeing this with the released version of DK 4.4?

[zmaupin]

Downloaded the latest Ubuntu Bionic release from https://downloads.chef.io/chefdk#ubuntu

This is very interesting that InSpec is the only one having an issue getting its version. Thanks for the report @zmaupin - getting this issue triaged

[zenspider]

@tyler-ball but are the other values coming in from shelling out, or from using constants already loaded?

[zenspider]

I do not have a repro on my side. That could be environment (I'm running inspec directly trying from a directory with an emoji name and with a PS1 that includes pwd) or ... I dunno. ruby versions? I highly highly doubt that's an issue.

[tas50]

@zmaupin Can you try to update to ChefDK 4.5.0 and see if this still happens on that new release? It has an updated InSpec along with a bunch of other updates.

[zmaupin]

Same with ChefDK 4.5.0
