Difficulty creating plugins

Hi, I’m a newbie and need detailed assistance with how to get started creating plugins.

1) I downloaded and installed BitNami Redmine 0.9.1 on Windows XP.

2) I have successfully started up the BitNami Redmine command prompt and I navigate to C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\apps\redmine. Ruby and MySQL commands both seem to be recognized.

3) I am following the plugin tutorial on the redmine website:
http://www.redmine.org/wiki/1/Plugin_Tutorial

4) I have completed step 1 and successfully set my RAILS_ENV variable with the command “set RAILS_ENV=”production"

5) I cannot complete step 2, which is for generating a sample plugin file. I enter the following:

ruby script/generate redmine_plugin Polls

and receive the following error:

./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:386:in `read’: In
valid argument – C:/Program Files/BitNami Redmine Stack/apps/redmine/config/envi

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

valid argument – C:/Program Files/BitNami Redmine Stack/apps/redmine/config/envi
ronments/“production”.rb

I think that you have to set the RAILS_ENV environment variable without quotes: set RAILS_ENV=production

Cheers.

Hi everyone!

It seems that I’ve encountered the same problem as Mike.

Hi,

It seems that you did not set the environment properly:

“production” .rb

Try to set the environment with the following command:

set RAILS_ENV=production

and re-run the same command.

Hi is there recommended way of setting permissions while creating a plug in. I’m using the UBUNTU VM of redmine, I get errors all the time because of permission settings.
