Hey all

I’ve create a rails 3 project and added the following to the gem file:

# Require Couchdb

gem ‘couchrest’, ‘\>= 1.0.0.beta’  
gem ‘couchrest\_model’

Everything installs when running bundle install

But when I try to do this:

rails generate model User --orm=couchrest\_model

I get this error:

error couchrest\_model [not found]

The gem is installed, so what is the problem?

Thanks
