[chef] chef_gem + gem dependencies

[David Petzel < >]

I'm having some trouble using getting the minitest-chef-handler gem installed using the chef_gem resource. The issue seems to be intermittent, but happens more times than it doesn't. I'm using a vagrant VM running 10.12, and when we 'up' a new Centos 6 or 5 VM I'm seeing an error along the lines of:

[2012-09-05T16:28:38-07:00] FATAL: Gem::DependencyError: chef_gem[minitest-chef-handler] (minitest-handler::default line 8) had an error: Gem::DependencyError: Unable to resolve dependencies: minitest-chef-handler requires ci_reporter (>= 0)



I've captured debug output to https://gist.github.com/3647626


running gem install using the gem provided by the Omnibus installer detects the gem and it can be installed, so I'm struggling to understand why chef_gem seems to think the dependencies can't be meet. Any ideas or troubleshooting tips on how I can narrow this down?
