humandoing software

Presently upgrading to Snow Leopard, and this kicked me in the teeth. The latest Vlad gem is 2.0, but the documentation is still, um, rough (that’s being generous).

$ script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.2)
default formats are encoded in ISO-8859-1
>> require 'vlad'
=> ["Vlad"]
>> Vlad.load :app => :passenger, :scm => :git
MissingSourceFile: no such file to load -- vlad/git

Anyways, it turns out that as of Vlad 2.0, the git portion of Vlad (probably others as well) are separated out into their own gems.

To fix:

sudo gem install vlad-git

Thanks to Richard Hart, through whom I found the solution.
