Error when running script/plugin install with -x

Rails
1

I’m trying to install the RSpec plugin using this command:

ruby script/plugin install -x
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/CURRENT/rspec

But I get this message: Cannot install using externals because this
project is not under subversion.

The project I am trying to install this to is under source control and
I verified using the command “svn info”.

I did install the RSpec gem, could this be causing an issue?

Here is my environment:

Windows XP SP2
subversion 1.4.4
ruby 1.8.5
rails 1.2.3

Thanks for the help.

Is vendor/plugins under svn?

Then I can’t explain it. I’ve seen that problem before where the
project is under svn but vendor/plugins doesn’t exist until you try to
install a plugin, and then you have explicitly add vendor/plugins to
svn. But if your vendor/plugins is definitely under version control
(i.e. svn info vendor/plugins gives you the right information) then I
have no idea what would be causing it. Sorry.

I see you’re running Windows. If you’re using the svn ASP.NET hack such
that
your svn admin dirs are _svn instead of .svn, then script/plugin install
-x
doesn’t work. I submitted a patch to Rails not that long ago:
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9007. If you are indeed using the svn
ASP.NET hack, please write to the Rails core mailing list [
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core ] and ask for the patch
to
be reviewed. I asked when I submitted the patch, but nobody has
commented on
it yet.

Of course, you could just set svn:externals on vendor/plugins to
reference
the rspec and rspec_on_rails plugins. Some people don’t like to do that,
though, because it makes them dependent on external svn servers being
up,
among other reasons.

yes, vendor/plugins is under svn.

That must be it Craig because I am running the ASP.NET hack. Thanks!

Very true, but it was so painfully slow for me when I last tried it
that I abandoned it for that little project. Perhaps your project
will fare better.

Instead of using svn:external you can use Piston
