Is that happens to rails 2.0 onwards Yes, that’s for Rails 2.x. ---

You certainly can - full REST support was added in 1.2.0. But the scaffold generator in 1.2 is still the “old” scaffold generator that’s not REST-aware. Instead, just use script/generate scaffold\_resource Album The scaffold\_resource generator was renamed to simply “scaffold” in Rails 2.0. Hope this helps?

If you already have a model, pass --skip to make it not overwrite your files. Also, it’s not obvious, but you can start up any generator without any parameters to get help on it, for example: script/generate scaffold This will emit a short list of options you can use with the scaffold generator.

Hi Thanks for yur reply.so you are saying that after I do script/generate scaffold\_resource Album then in my routes.rb will contain map.resources :albums Then could you please correct me if anything wrong in the following steps?(This I am doing for learning REST in Rails) After creating a rails application I did ruby script/generate model Item then in db/migrate/001\_create\_items.rb I added t.column :name, :string, :limit=\>40 etc and migrated. Then I did rake db:migrate After that as you said ruby script/generate scaffold\_resource Item (Hre first I did just scaffold do u remember?) But at the last line it says that db/migrate create\_items already exists…So surely that step failed Isn’t it? And sure there is no change in routes.rb (As i expect map.resources :items) ``` Could you please tell me where error happened in my steps? ``` Thanks in advance Sijo
