This is wrong information. Installing a plugin will cause install.rb to run in a Rails environment.

Why would you want to install a plugin from your local filesystem? So you can test install.rb.

The quickest ways for me to get this done were

serve the plugin from a web server
make a git branch and push changes there

Hope this helps.

Hi Jeff,

Using script/plugin install doesn’t really make much sense on a local filesystem. Just copying the plugin into the vendors/plugin directory will be sufficient.

Of course, if your plugin is under source control, you can easily point script/plugin at your own SVN repository.

How do I test this with local rails app? In other words, how do I use script/plugin install with a local plugin instead of a url?

Thanks
