Question : Windows Generate problems
|
|
Hi, I'm completely new to Ruby but good with Windows and VB. I downloaded and installed Instant Rails yesterday. The tutorials I'm learning from are in Mac on 1.8.4 and I'm on Windows Vista 1.8.6 I have everything up and running - the www.mycookbook.com works Added paths etc
In my tutorial I need to generate a controller and an action and it says: script/generate controller Say windows says it can't find anything to run called "Scripts". On EE it said use: ruby script/generate controller Say I get ruby: No such file or directory -- script/generate (LoadError) So, how do you generate a controller in Windows? Thanks

One other thing to know is that a rails app will use the system version UNLESS you do a "freeze". A freeze will actually copy the rails files to /vendor/rails so that you're locked to that version until YOU decide to update it.
First, pick a release that you want to freeze to (a list at http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/tags/)
Then, use the freeze rake command: > rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_X-X-X
It'll take a bit to copy all the files for that version, but then you can work with rails on an older version.
And yes, Rails is a fast-moving target! Tutorials go out of date quickly.
Glad you got it working!
