How to install rvm on Vagrant (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) using Puppet?

I have a Vagrant base box running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin). I can bring up the box (vagrant up) and ssh (vagrant ssh) into it fine.

Next step: I want to use Puppet to provision RVM and Ruby 1.9.3-p125.

I used the puppet-rvm module from: https://github.com/blt04/puppet-rvm

I followed the instructions and added the following to my Puppet manifest: 

include rvm
rvm_system_ruby {
  'ruby-1.9.3-p125':
    ensure => present,
    default_use => true;
}

Then I destroyed my VM (vagrant destroy) and recreated it (vagrant up) expecting Puppet to install RVM.

But when I ssh into the VM there's no rvm for me :(

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Is there any information I can provide that might help figure this out?

If you're using the puppet-rvm module, you can run into problems if you set default_use => true because puppet may not be available to the Ruby you just installed. The puppet-rvm module is installed system-wide, so you need to make sure that root's Ruby is the system Ruby to avoid breakage.

for vagrant you could build a box with RVM already installed, just use veewee and this definition: https://github.com/mpapis/rvm-test-vagrant/tree/master/definitions/rvm-ubuntu-12.04-amd64

I was building it yesterday and it worked all fine.
