Is there a way to specify a rubygems version?

[seafoodbuffet]

I'm running into an issue where the version of RubyGems installed has a bug that's fixed in a newer version of RubyGems. I don't see a way to update the RubyGems version. It would be great if there were a param like gems_version on rvm_system_ruby. something like:

rvm_system_ruby {
'ruby-1.9':
ensure => 'present',
default_use => true,
gems_version => '2.5.1'
}

is there a way to upgrade the rubygems version without making code changes to the puppet module?

I know this is an old issue, but I was looking for it as well.

It turns out that Rubygems is updated via gem update --system (to get the latest).

• To specify a version, you run this: gem update --system VERSION

Since this module relies on specifying a gem name, there isn't a way to do it w/o changes to the module.

Also, you could look at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-ruby as an alternative.
