I need to use scaffolding to generate my model “Publisher” and  
controller “admin/publisher” . I am running following ruby command and  
getting error

> script/generate scaffold Publisher ‘admin/publisher’

error

exists app/models/  
exists app/controllers/  
exists app/helpers/  
create app/views/publishers  
exists app/views/layouts/  
exists test/functional/  
exists test/unit/  
exists public/stylesheets/  
create app/views/publishers/index.html.erb  
wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)

I know that scaffolding has been removed from Rails 2.0, however can’t  
able to find any document for alternative solution.

Thanks  
Amit

Hi Amit,

Scaffolding changed substantially with 2.0. Google ‘rails 2.0  
scaffolding’.  
Also, you might want to work through this tutorial:
