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!

See what’s in vendor/plugins

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

just for a project
