The use of query instead of test in your command is the cause of the error you see.

See:

• compliance query command

• compliance test command

Solution

When running your compliance rules, ensure that you use the compliance test command and not compliance query.

E.g.:

$> mettleci compliance test /
   -asset \folder /
   -rules \compliance_rules_folder /
   -report "\folder\output.csv"
