Hi, I had this problem too, but not when using a newly created instance of Radiant without any modifications or extensions. So I tried to find the extension causing the issue. I traced it to the line require ‘application’ which can be found e.g. in the paperclipped extension twice. I didn’t find any real solution. My workaround was commenting out these two lines, running the generator and after that restoring the lines. Regards, Marc Am 21.01.2009 um 23:56 schrieb Guillermo Gómez \:
