Hi all,

I’ve written a couple of rails plugins and want to be able to use  
Rails’ script/plugin script to add and remove them from my projects.  
I’ve put them in a svn repository, yet the plugin script doesn’t seem  
to recognise them. I’m doing the following:

$ script/plugin -v list --source=http://my\_repos/trunk  
Discovering plugins in http://my\_repos/trunk/  
nil

The repository has the structure  
trunk/  
plugin1/  
plugin2/  
etc.

Is there another step to get the script to recognise these plugins?

Many thanks,  
Adam

Why don’t you just do…

./script/plugin install http://my\_repos/trunk/plugin1

?

Sorry, should have said, I have done that as well but I get a “Plugin  
not found error”, which is why I’m guessing that something is wrong  
with my setup.
