Hi \*, I have been using radrails as an IDE for awhile now and we were getting along just fine - but recently it has just gone totally postal?!?? I created a new rails app - when I click to expand the folders there is no framework in place, just the root folder of the app. To add insult to injury two weeks of work also just disapeered - I kid you not just gone without any deletion on my part. As a way forward I have updated to 0.6.2 but its still the same :-/ At this rate I am going back to a dos box and sciTE. Cheers, Luke ---

As someone else asked re: the skelton that didn’t show up, have you looked at the directory itself and confirmed the skeleton really was generated? I still do my initial “rails projectname” from the commandline and follow the directions for “importing an existing project” into Radrails… The generator hooks in Radrails, though new, mostly seem to work, but the older wizard to create a brand-new skeleton, not so much. As for the two weeks of work that disappeared, have you looked in the directory from the commandline or your usual file explorer? It’s mighty unlikely, but maybe Eclipse got confused about where your projects are stored. And in the event you right-clicked the top of your project’s tree and selected “delete” or a cat did same with delete key and didn’t know it, that would be pretty bad, but is mitigated pretty enormously if you’re using version control.

Radrails…shouldn’t delete the actual files from file system…just checkout the actual dir. And…the software is still beta…but if actual files are there in the file system…then you can create a empty project and import the existing project from file system. And…i would suggest, you to post this thing on radrails mailing list…
