Issue in fetching configurations of VertexAI metadataStore using Client Library in chef inspec

[IpsitaNeogi]

Hi Team,

I am trying to fetch configurations of VertexAI metadataStore using Google Client Library in chef inspec.

I have gone through the file structures of the library and found that gem folder is present in two locations.
• Where ruby is installed - C:\Ruby30-x64\lib\ruby\gems\3.0.0\gems
• Where inspec is installed - C:\opscode\inspec\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\3.1.0\gems

To install 'google-cloud-ai_platform' gem in 'C:\opscode\inspec\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\3.1.0\gems', I tried below methods.

1. Install google-cloud-ai_platform by running below command
   gem install google-cloud-ai_platform --install-dir "C:\opscode\inspec\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\3.1.0" --ignore-dependencies
   It is throwing below error while running inspec command 'inspec exec . --input-file=inputs.yml -t gcp://' :
   C:/opscode/inspec/embedded/lib/ruby/3.1.0/rubygems/specification.rb:1401:in `rescue in block in activate_dependencies': Could not find 'google-cloud-ai_platform-v1' (>= 0.0, < 2.a) among 303 total gem(s) (Gem::MissingSpecError)

2. Install google-cloud-ai_platform-v1 by running below command
   gem install google-cloud-ai_platform-v1 --install-dir "C:\opscode\inspec\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\3.1.0" --ignore-dependencies
   It is throwing below error while running inspec command 'inspec exec . --input-file=inputs.yml -t gcp://' :
   C:/opscode/inspec/embedded/lib/ruby/3.1.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:311:in `to_specs': Could not find 'gapic-common' (>= 0.18.0, < 2.a) among 304 total gem(s) (Gem::MissingSpecError)

3. Install gapic-common by running below command
   gem install gapic-common --install-dir "C:\opscode\inspec\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\3.1.0" --ignore-dependencies
   It is throwing below error while running inspec command 'inspec exec . --input-file=inputs.yml -t gcp://' :
   Unable to activate gapic-common-0.18.0, because googleauth-0.14.0 conflicts with googleauth (~> 1.0) (Gem::ConflictError)

4. Update googleauth by running below command
   gem update googleauth --install-dir "C:\opscode\inspec\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\3.1.0"
   It is throwing below error while running inspec command 'inspec exec . --input-file=inputs.yml -t gcp://' :
   C:/opscode/inspec/embedded/lib/ruby/3.1.0/rubygems/specification.rb:2236:in `raise_if_conflicts': Unable to activate gapic-common-0.18.0, because googleauth-0.14.0 conflicts with googleauth (~> 1.0) (Gem::ConflictError)

5. Install googleauth by running below command
   gem install googleauth --install-dir "C:\opscode\inspec\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\3.1.0" --ignore-dependencies
   It is throwing below error while running inspec command 'inspec exec . --input-file=inputs.yml -t gcp://' :
   C:/opscode/inspec/embedded/lib/ruby/3.1.0/rubygems/specification.rb:2236:in `raise_if_conflicts': Unable to activate gapic-common-0.18.0, because googleauth-0.14.0 conflicts with googleauth (~> 1.0) (Gem::ConflictError)

Imported lib by adding require "google/cloud/ai_platform" in the ruby script.

Could you please suggest what need to be done?

All the resources for Vertex AI are available with the latest version in InSpec-gcp, which is only supported by REST APIs.
