I have a book called "Learning Ruby" and under the section for rails is gives a step-by-step walk through of creating a simple Rails web app.
It says near the end type the command:
./script/generate scaffold addressbook addressbook
But part-way through I get the error:
wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)
I assume this is because a slight version difference, but I cant get my rails application to work, and was hoping somebody here might be able to help me?
If you run script/generate scaffold without any arguments, it will tell you how to use it:
$ script/generate scaffold Usage: script/generate scaffold ModelName [field:type, field:type] Options: --skip-timestamps Don't add timestamps to the migration file for this model --skip-migration Don't generate a migration file for this model --force-plural Forces the generation of a plural ModelName Rails Info: -v, --version Show the Rails version number and quit. -h, --help Show this help message and quit. General Options: -p, --pretend Run but do not make any changes. -f, --force Overwrite files that already exist. -s, --skip Skip files that already exist. -q, --quiet Suppress normal output. -t, --backtrace Debugging: show backtrace on errors. -c, --svn Modify files with subversion. (Note: svn must be in path) -g, --git Modify files with git. (Note: git must be in path) Description: Scaffolds an entire resource, from model and migration to controller and views, along with a full test suite. The resource is ready to use as a starting point for your RESTful, resource-oriented application. Pass the name of the model (in singular form), either CamelCased or under_scored, as the first argument, and an optional list of attribute pairs. Attribute pairs are column_name:sql_type arguments specifying the model's attributes. Timestamps are added by default, so you don't have to specify them by hand as 'created_at:datetime updated_at:datetime'. You don't have to think up every attribute up front, but it helps to sketch out a few so you can start working with the resource immediately. For example, 'scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean' gives you a model with those three attributes, a controller that handles the create/show/update/destroy, forms to create and edit your posts, and an index that lists them all, as well as a map.resources :posts declaration in config/routes.rb. If you want to remove all the generated files, run 'script/destroy scaffold ModelName'. Examples: `./script/generate scaffold post` `./script/generate scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean` `./script/generate scaffold purchase order_id:integer amount:decimal`
