I am trying to run all my inspec test before to deploy the chef recipe. I want to know what is the initial state of my instances.
I tested the ssh connection with:
ssh -i $HOME/key.pem centos@server_ip_address
and the connection is allow, but when I tried to run the inspect test again the server:
inspec exec ntp/test/integration/ntp.rb -t ssh://centos@server_ip_address -i /home/centos/key.pem
I got this error:

Transport error, can't connect to 'ssh' backend: SSH session could not be established
I do not know where is the error. Any suggestion ?
chef gem list | grep inspec
inspec (1.9.0, 1.7.2)
Well, I spent the whole morning and part of the afternoon searching and I found a solution here
I execute:
eval "$(ssh-agent)"
and then added my key to the agent:
ssh-add key.pem
So now I am able to run the inspec tests without the keys just executing:
inspec exec cookbooks/ntp/test/integration/default/ -t ssh://centos@server_ip_address
Ok, this is a partial solution because I am still looking for using the -i and use the key as argument. The issue is still there.
