sensu plugin could do with a source param

[ghost]

Description of problem

When using sensu plugin type package:

'package': {
      $gem_install_options_real = $pkg_provider ? {
        'gem'   => $gem_install_options,
        default => undef,
      }

      package { $name:
        ensure          => $pkg_version,
        provider        => $pkg_provider,
        install_options => $gem_install_options_real
      }
    }

There is no source option. So when behind a proxy it fails.
In this case I am using sensu_gem provider to use the embedded ruby.

Also above if the pkg_provider is sensu_gem default becomes undef for install options. So install options do not work.

Though looking at the parent gem provider gem list operations do not use install_options but only source. So it will still be preferable to have a source option available.

It would be nice to add a pkg_source param for this so we can supply a source option.

Something like:

'package': {
      $gem_install_options_real = $pkg_provider ? {
        'gem'   => $gem_install_options,
        'sensu_gem' => $gem_isntall_options,
        default => undef,
      }

      package { $name:
        ensure          => $pkg_version,
        provider        => $pkg_provider,
        install_options => $gem_install_options_real
        source     => $pkg_source,
      }
    }

• What did you do?
  Tried to install plugins using the sensu_gem provider

• What happened?
  As part of the operation a gem list is done and if behind a proxy this fails as the only var/option available to use is "install_options" which is not used during a list operation inherited from the gem provider to the sensu_gem provider.

• What did you expect to happen?

• How can someone reproduce the problem?
  Run behind a proxy using the sensu_gem provider

Command used and debugging output

• What does your puppet config look like (including any hiera config)
• Is this a masterless or master based puppet setup?
