      description <<~DESC
        Use the **chef_gem** resource to install a gem only for the instance of Ruby that is dedicated to the chef-client.
        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).

      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'
        ```
