Hi all

Following on from Saeed's post below, if you are following the
Peepcode tutorial on Test First Development
(http://peepcode.com/products/test-first-development), then you
will need to issue all of the following commands to install all
3 plugins described at around 14:00 of the ppercode-004-testing.mov
movie.

script/plugin install
http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/calendar_helper

script/plugin install http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/meta_tags/

script/plugin install http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/memory_test
_fix/

Hope that helps.

I think the resolution to this bug would be to have the program
prompt you to discover on the first use or at least change the
error message to something like "you must add at least 1
repository before running rapt"

Actually the problem is that you should register the repository
sources before trying to use rapt. The easy way is to use:

rapt discover

Then you should be able to use rapt without problems

I wrote about getting around it here:

pt-error/
(Yea, cheap website plug.)

I can confirm this error, too, during the Peepcode exercise. 

(To get around the error use the rails plugin installer by running
"script/plugin install
http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/calendar_helper" from the
root of your rails application to install it.

I also have the same problem viewing the peepcode tutorial for
TDD. Running Rails 1.1.6 (with Rails Edge frozen for my app).

I can confirm this bug, I am currently trying to work through
the latest peepcode tutorial (TDD) and this bug is causing quite
a problem for me as you may well imagine if you have seen the
episode!
