Hey guys, I posted the other day about scaffold not working and i was told that it was rails 2.0 doing this. (btw i’m using adgile web development) I have read on the internet that you need to put extra stuff like title, description… So i did this: C:\ruby\depot\>ruby script\generate scaffold Product Admin id:int title:varchar(1 00) description:text image\_url:varchar(200) price:decimal(10,2) and i got the same error as i got when i didn’t put the extra stuff in here is the error: ``` exists app/models/ exists app/controllers/ exists app/helpers/ exists app/views/products exists app/views/layouts/ exists test/functional/ exists test/unit/ ``` wrong number of arguments (1 for 2) I no that it says exists but the main point is that i can’t scaffold now. How can i fix this? Thanks Chris ---

I recently put online a short tutorial which you may find useful. This is mainly to help users of our IDE, Ruby In Steel, but it covers the essential details of the Rails 2 scaffold generator syntax so it may help you over this barrier 😉 [http://www.sapphiresteel.com/How-To-Create-A-Blog-With-Rails-2](http://www.sapphiresteel.com/How-To-Create-A-Blog-With-Rails-2) best wishes Huw ---

You’re specifying (100), (200) and (10,2) when it’s not needed. On Dec 22, 2007 9:18 PM, Chris W.

It’s because yo’re providing Product and Admin. Because of Rails recent conversion to REST, the scaffold generator only generates controllers based on the model name, in this case you’d have Product/ProductsController. The reason it’s saying the arguments are wrong is because it thinks Admin is supposed to be a field and you didn’t provide a type. Also, you can leave the sizes off I think. At least, OSX didn’t like them being on there. –Jeremy On Dec 22, 2007 4:32 AM, Chris W.

Huw, I’m getting to the end of a large Rails project of which I developed on my Windows XP machine. I’d sure like to have the extra money around Xmas time to buy an Apple, but Santa isn’t helping. Anyway, I observed that you seem to be in the Windows ‘camp’ while using Ruby in Steel and wondered if your ‘group?’ might have learned to address certain problems that occur in developing in the Windows environment. (Of course I’m going to be hosting the app on a Linux server, but it’d be nice to see it all really working). 1. attachment\_fu - won’t work with S3 with some kind of timing issue that no one can explain? 2. activerecord emailer? - won’t load emails into the ‘spool’ that are served out when resources are available. Anyway, I’d be grateful to hear from you, or anyone who is able to run their entire program in a Rails environment on Windows. Many thanks… Kathy On Dec 22, 4:24 am, Huw C. \
