I’m using InstantRails 1.6, Rails 1.2.3, and TortoiseSVN to commit my  
code to the server.

Now, I’d like to use the tabnav plugin:

C:\applications\shop\>ruby script/plugin install  
svn://svn.seesaw.it/tabnav/trunk

C:\applications\shop\>

There is nothing happening, and no tabnav is in vendor/plugins. And I  
don’t have webrick running. What do I do wrong?

Luma,

Humm. That’s a good question. I tried that command on my Mac and all  
was cool.

I’m assuming you ran:

C:\applications\> rails shop  
C:\applications\> cd shop  
C:\applications\shop\> ruby script/plugin install  
svn://svn.seesaw.it/tabnav/trunk

If so then you aren’t doing anything wrong, so it must be something  
broken in you tools or other configuration.

I have had problems with their svn in the past, seem to remember doing a  
manual install using TortoiseSVN in the past worked.

Now I reinstalled InstantRails 1.7 and TortoiseSvn successfully. The  
application works, and I can update the changes in my code to the  
server. But still, InstantRails doesn’t install the plugin.

C:\>rails noidea  
create  
create app/controllers  
…  
C:\>cd noidea

C:\noidea\>ruby script/plugin install svn://svn.seesaw.it/tabnav/trunk

C:\noidea\>

Tortoise Svn doesn’t work, too. I think I’ll reinstall it as well as  
Instant Rails. Let’s see if it will work then.

I made it another way, using in a partial view.

Thanks
