How can use external gem w/ vagrant

[Joaquin Menchaca]

I am stuck on this one.  I wanted to store some data in either INI file or SQLite3 database.  I would query these, then build a Ruby hash.   

Unfortunately, I get errors

require 'inifile'

settings = IniFile.load(CONFIGFILE)

Message: LoadError: cannot load such file -- inifile

require 'sqlite3'

File.delete(CONFIGFILE_DB) if File.exist?(CONFIGFILE_DB)

db = SQLite3::Database.new(CONFIGFILE_DB)

db = execute( ".read #{CONFIGFILE_SQL}")

db.execute( QUERY_HOSTS ) do |hostname, ipaddr|

  settings['hosts'][hostname] = ipaddr

end

Message: LoadError: cannot load such file -- sqlite3

So, how can I get these gems to be available when my Vagrantfile is included.

I found that I can get these to work if I do:

vagrant plugin install sqlite3

vagrant plugin install inifile

Now I am wondering if there's a way to have something stupid-simple, like bundle install with a Gemfile.

I did not see anything obvious.  

There's some material about using development version of vagrant:

• https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/vagrant-1-5-plugin-improvements.html#toc_1
  
• https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/plugins/development-basics.html
  
• https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/plugins/packaging.html
  

But nothing end-user-ish... as far as I know.  Anyone know if there is easy do automate this (vagrant plugin install).
