How to automate chef gem installation?. while running cookbook ‘windows’ (github) I’m getting error “cannot load such file – ruby-wmi” due to gems files are not installed. Is there any way to automate this instead of manually installing chef gems.( I didn’t have internet access in my server)
Thanks
Do you mind including a stacktrace? I’d be curious to see where ruby-wmi is being required.

I think you may be using a very old version of the windows cookbook that used to depend on ruby-wmi. That dependency was removed a couple years ago to avoid this same scenario.
