When a gem is installed from a local file, it must be added to the node using the **remote_file** or **cookbook_file** resources. The **chef_gem** resource works with all of the same properties and options as the **gem_package** resource, but does not accept the `gem_binary` property because it always uses the `CurrentGemEnvironment` under which the `chef-client` is running. In addition to performing actions similar to the **gem_package** resource, the **chef_gem** resource does the following: - Runs its actions immediately, before convergence, allowing a gem to be used in a recipe immediately after it is installed. - Runs `Gem.clear_paths` after the action, ensuring that gem is aware of changes so that it can be required immediately after it is installed. Warning: The **chef_gem** and **gem_package** resources are both used to install Ruby gems. For any machine on which Chef Infra Client is installed, there are two instances of Ruby. One is the standard, system-wide instance of Ruby and the other is a dedicated instance that is available only to Chef Infra Client. Use the **chef_gem** resource to install gems into the instance of Ruby that is dedicated to Chef Infra Client. Use the **gem_package** resource to install all other gems (i.e. install gems system-wide). DESC examples <<~EXAMPLES **Compile time vs. converge time installation of gems** To install a gem while Chef Infra Client is configuring the node (the converge phase), set the `compile_time` property to `false`: ```ruby chef_gem 'right_aws' do compile_time false action :install end ``` To install a gem while the resource collection is being built (the compile phase), set the `compile_time` property to `true`: ```ruby chef_gem 'right_aws' do compile_time true action :install end ``` Install MySQL for Chef ```ruby apt_update build_essential 'install compilation tools' do compile_time true end chef_gem 'mysql' ``` EXAMPLES property :package_name, String, description: "An optional property to set the package name if it differs from the resource block's name.", identity: true property :version, String, description: "The version of a package to be installed or upgraded." property :gem_binary, String, default: "#{RbConfig::CONFIG["bindir"]}/gem", default_description: "The `gem` binary included with #{Chef::Dist::PRODUCT}.", description: "The path of a gem binary to use for the installation. By default, the same version of Ruby that is used by #{Chef::Dist::PRODUCT} will be installed.", callbacks: { "The `chef_gem` resource is restricted to the current gem environment, use `gem_package` to install to other environments." => proc { |v| v == "#{RbConfig::CONFIG["bindir"]}/gem" }, } end end end
