`rails plugin install` does not work (3.0.4)

Hi experts,

I recently moved to Rails 3.0.4, and tried doing 'rails plugin install https://github.com/parasew/acts_as_tree.git’, but vendor/plugins/ is empty.

I tried with the --force option, but the plugin still does not get installed.

Am I missing something here?

Best, Radhesh

Hi Radhesh,

I had the same problem. This is how I got it fixed:

* first, just in case, upgrade to rails 3.0.5 (as root): - gem update - gem update --system

* as root (not sure this is necessary, but it installed a missing gem): - gem install dynamic_form

Then in my rails application I reinstalled the bundle (bundle install) and after that "plugin" option started to show in rails and

rails plugin install git://github.com/rails/dynamic_form.git

was successful.

Best regards,

Kristjan
