Problems installing acts_as_list plugin

Hi There,

i'm using Ruby 1.8.6 on Rails 2.2.2 on a Mac OSX 10.5.4 and i'm trying to use acts_as_list in a project.

While testing with rake test:units i got an "[..] `method_missing': undefined method `acts_as_list' [...]" Error.

After googeling a while i changed into the project directory and tried ruby script/plugin install http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/acts_as_list getting "Plugin not found: ["http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/acts_as_list"\]" as response. The 2nd time i ran (getting desperate makes you iterate non-successfull processes :wink: the line, i got "already installed: acts_as_list" When i retry with --force, i get the "not found" message again.

I tried ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/acts_as_list.git as well, got no reply, looked like success. But the unit test still failed. Running the git-install again lead to the "already installed" message.

I'm a bit confused, asking me (an now you) the following questions:

1.) How do i see which plugins are installed? 2.) Do i have to "activate" an installed plugin within a project somehow? 3.) Do i install plugins generally or just for the current project i'm in? 4.) How can i get acts_as_list (and later acts_as_tree) running?

Any Hints are appreciated, Thanx for your help!

1.) How do i see which plugins are installed?

See what's in vendor/plugins

2.) Do i have to "activate" an installed plugin within a project somehow?

some plugins have an install.rb to run (acts_as_list isn't one of them)

3.) Do i install plugins generally or just for the current project i'm in?

just for a project
