Chef rpm_package throws error installing from local source

I'm using Chef 12.5.1 and the Docker image Test-Kitchen is running is running RHEL 7.x

I download jdk-8u65-linux-x64.rpm to a local directory on my Docker test instance and run the following recipe to install it.

rpm_package 'install_java' do
  package_name 'jdk-8u65-linux-x64.rpm'
  source '/home/user/jdk-8u65-linux-x64.rpm'
end

But it throws the following error:

---- Begin output of rpm  -i /home/user/jdk-8u65-linux-x64.rpm ----
STDOUT:
STDERR: error: Failed dependencies:
   /usr/bin/find is needed by jdk1.8.0_65-2000:1.8.0_65-fcs.x86_64
---- End output of rpm  -i /home/user/jdk-8u65-linux-x64.rpm ----

The only information I could find was this comment but I tried "chmod +x" on the RPM and it didn't help. Any ideas?

rpm on its own isn't capable of installing dependencies, normally this would be handled by yum. You can either install the RPM with yum or find a package to fulfill the dependency (probably find or findutils) and install it.
