hi @all

I try to install the plugin “validate\_attributes”. I’m using Windows and  
I tried to install the plugin with rapt like this:

> rapt search validate\_attributes  
> rapt install results

Now, I always get an error “Rapt currently does not work outside of a  
Rails application directory. Please change to the top level of a Rails  
application and try again.”  
For sure, I’m in the top level…

Does anybody has an idea, why it doesn’t work?

Thanks a lot!  
Pascal

i’m getting the same thing. it was working before, now it doesn’t all  
of a sudden. i can’t seem to figure it out.  
i’m using a mac currently. just upgraded to leopard so i don’t know if  
that was what broke it or what.
