Hi all I have a plugin which itself needs to load some plugins from its own vendor/plugins directory. I''ve spent half of this morning Googling about for answers but I haven''t found anything suitable yet. I''ve been looking at adding plugin load paths to the host app''s initializer object from init.rb but, of course, that''ll be useless seeing as being in init.rb means that the plugin loader is already running. Does anyone know of a solution that can be incorporated into a plugin''s init.rb file that''ll load these "nested" plugins alongside the host app''s plugins? Or is there another Rails "best practice" approach that I haven''t found yet? Any help greatly appreciated.

What if you simply add the additional plugins to your main application? At least this is what I''m doing... I have 30+ engine plugins which partly depend on each other. So we add whatever is required to the main application. For testing each engine plugin still has to reference all needed plugins but this is a different topic.

I don''t have too many plugins so this is still an option. However, I''m eventually going to roll this plugin into a gem and I want to deploy it using a config.gem dependency. Having all the dependencies self- contained would be a huge bonus when it comes to keeping all my apps up to date as I can simply update the version of the gem being used.

If I''m not completely mistaken, using "bundler" should solve your problem. You can define dependencies within you gem and bundler will resolve the dependencies for you and install what is needed. This is at least a possibility I wanted to invest for my setup once moved over to Rails 3 On Mar 7, 9:44 pm, Tristan <tristanmchar...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I don''t have too many plugins so this is still an option.
