oh, is your main project not managed by git or subversion? That's interesting, I hadn't really thought about that.
Thanks for trying it and reporting back the error message. ext tries to add the plugin to the ignore feature of your main project. If it can't tell what scm the main project is, it can't do that and it bails out. I'll consider adding an option to not update the ignore when using install, but for now it sounds like ext isn't a good choice for how you're currently managing/deploying your application. Thanks again for the feedback tashfeen!
