Plugin directory has created unless plugin is exist

#5957

I tried at Rails 3.0.1.

$ rails plugin install open_id_authentication

plugin open_id_authentication is not exist, so I ran another command again

$ rails plugin install https://github.com/rails/open_id_authentication.git

but rails command said "Already installed".
I think "RAILS_ROOT/vendor/open_id_authentication" are created by first command,
but it's empty directory because plugin is not exist. I can install plugin after removed "RAILS_ROOT/vendor/open_id_authentication".

    I think this is normal behavior. You can run this command with --force option, like so:
    $ rails plugin install https://github.com/rails/open_id_authentication.git --force

    Actually, rails notifies you if trying to install plugin and there is existent directory with the same name in vendor/plugins:
    $ rails plugin install open_id_authentication Plugin not found: ["open_id_authentication"]
    $ rails plugin install https://github.com/rails/open_id_authentication.git already installed: open_id_authentication (https://github.com/rails/open_id_authentication.git). pass --force to reinstall

    Hm, I think that directory has created if plugin not found is bug....

    Why I have to type "--force" if i missed repository?

    I think that directory hasn't created if plugin not found; It is kinder than current behavior...

    Sorry for previous formatting issues, here again:

    $ rails plugin install open_id_authentication

    Plugin not found: ["open_id_authentication"]

    $ rails plugin install https://github.com/rails/open_id_authentication.git

    already installed: open_id_authentication (https://github.com/rails/open_id_authentication.git). pass --force to reinstall

    hmmm... you're right, sora_h. Maybe rails should check if plugin is available and if so then create directory?
