Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-1123 Ability to install gems in bolt's ruby path Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2019/02/08 12:39 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Nick Maludy Story: As a plan developer i need to be able to install gems into Bolt's ruby path so that functions written in ruby can be executed by the Bolt control node.   Use case: We want to use the `rbvmomi` gem from the Bolt control node to create/delete snapshots on VMs in VMware. In order to do this, the `rbvmomi` gem needs to be installed in Bolt's ruby path.   Thoughts: Setup a bolt_gem provider for the package resource to be used within an apply block. Have a `bolt gem install` command that can be used to install gems individually or from a Gemfile into Bolt's gem path. Something else i haven't thought of yet Add Comment
