yep, thank you. I've used the docs to help me get as far as I have- which is that the plugin works, but I haven't been able to get a local gem install to work; only running from a dir pointed to in the LS Gemfile. If it would fail with an error, that would help. Instead it claims it was successful though it clearly wasn't.
