Installing a plugin from a git repository

Rails
1

Hi,
I’ve just upgraded my system to rails 2.1

If I start a new rails project I can issue this command without a
problem:

./script/plugin install git://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda.git

However, I can’t seem to get that command to work on my 2.02 projects
that
have been updated to 2.1 using rake rails:update
I get the following error:

Plugin not found: [“git://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda.git”]

Any ideas why this is the case?

Thanks
Francois

try http:// rather than git://

Hi,

Thanks that worked! I’m curious why though. Does anyone know? Would
be ideal to fix it so it’s consistent. Thanks!

definitely sounds like a bug to me. I see no reason why git://
wouldn’t work if git clone git://github.com/blah/blah.git works
