On my main development machine I have several apps. One uses a fixed version of engines installed via script\plugin and explicitly runs under Rails 1.0 in environment.rb. User and Login engines run fine. For a new app, I installed the Rails 1.1.2 gems and decided to do things “right” with svn:externals props pulling in Engines and Login and UserEngines. When I ran svn update, it seemed to pull down all three, but my SVN log reported as though it pulled in the Engines plugin 3 times, not three diferent components. Running rake db:migrate:engines returns a no-such-task error. A look at rake -T shows most of the old un-namespaced Engines tasks, but not engines\_migrate, while all the Rails tasks are namespaced. I’ve tried via svn:externals both the trunk versions and the tags/rel\_1.0.1 versions and had the same result. If this doesn’t ring a bell, I’ll also provide some SVN log output, a listing of the resulting vendor/plugins directory and the output of rake -T for extra bonus troubleshooting fun. ---

Just some additional info: I tried setting my svn externals property to fetch the Engines plugin 1.1.1 and the 1.0.1 Login and User engines. Again, a sensible-looking set of files gets fetched into vendor/plugins but I still have no db:migrate:engines task, nor an engines\_migrate task. rake -T returns namespaced tasks for Rails and non-namespaced tasks for the engines, and as I said, neither of the engine migration tasks… just things like bootstrap and those schema import tasks. I’m leery of trying the latter because I’m worried I’ll run into other very broken things as I proceed. Steve K. wrote: > On my main development machine I have several apps.

Was this question ever answered? Experiencing same issue, latest version of ENGINES plugin installed successfully yet rake -T output does not show db:migrate:engines as an available task.
