RAILS: Unable to install daemon plugin


Daemon Plugin: https://github.com/dougal/daemon_generator

When I do

rails plugin install git://github.com/dougal/daemon_generator.git

I get this output:

Description:
    The 'rails plugin new' command creates a skeleton for developing any
    kind of Rails extension with ability to run tests using dummy Rails
    application.

Example:
    rails plugin new ~/Code/Ruby/blog

    This generates a skeletal Rails plugin in ~/Code/Ruby/blog.
    See the README in the newly created plugin to get going.

I have no idea why this is happening, I tried doing this inside the rails app and as well as outside but no luck! Still the same. I am using rails 4.2.3

I also tried doing:

rails plugin new install git://github.com/dougal/daemon_generator.git

It created some files. create

      create  README.rdoc
      create  Rakefile
      create  install.gemspec
      create  MIT-LICENSE
      create  .gitignore
      create  Gemfile
      create  lib/install.rb
      create  lib/tasks/install_tasks.rake
      create  lib/install/version.rb
      create  test/test_helper.rb
      create  test/install_test.rb
      append  Rakefile
  vendor_app  test/dummy
         run  bundle install

Then I tested using this command

rails generate daemon test

And I got this error:

Could not find generator 'daemon'. Maybe you meant 'job', 'mailer' or 'task'
Run `rails generate --help` for more options.

I am unable to install daemon for rails.

And when I do:

./script/generate daemon testdaemon

I get this error:

zsh: no such file or directory: ./script/generate

Even though I have the script folder.


Solution

  • Plugins do not exist for rails any more. Anything written for Rails 2 (or 3) are unlikely to work with 4 or the upcoming version 5.

    You could try checking the code into lib/ and require the files from within config/application.
