[chef-dev] Installing Gems for a LWRP

[Ryan Hass < >]

Hello,

I am working on implementing COOK-847, and have encountered a
chicken-and-egg problem. I need to install the certificate_authority
gem; normally I would simply call chef_gem for something like this.
However, since the default recipe is likely to be executed after the
provider I am not able to do this. I also am unable to find a standard
Mixin for chef_gem in Chef 11.x.

What is the correct way to install a gem for Chef to use so I can
require it in my provider?
