Hi guys i already installed ruby, i started creating my first database an my table cliente, but when i’m trying to create the model and the controller with the command scaffold, i got a message " no such file or directory". when i type in my directory: script/generator scaffold cliente i got this message, what can be the problem, because a friend told me it works for him.

Some here are hostile to rails related posts on the ruby forum, please ask them on the rails forums. ilan ---

You need an extra argument script/generate scaffold try script/generate scaffold (without arguments) for help with the arguments. Also, As a newcomer myself, I’m going to caution you against using scaffolding. It will only cause you heartache and pain in the long run. And when you came back to ask for help, the experts around here will tell you to get rid of the scaffold code and code it by hand, of course they are kind enough to show you how too 🙂 Hope it helps Matt ---

It’s usually just sound advice to point people towards the rails community since it is a more direct route to help and also because the list volume is quite high here and a rails focus would make it even higher.
