So in the middle of delivering a website to somebody I naively upgraded to rails 2.0, and WTF? Why did the scaffolding change so dramatically without leaving the old commands around? (insert Zed S. rant here) So I figured out how to run the scaffold command and the code it creates is TOTALLY different than anything I know. WHY do I need webservices built into my stupid little website again, could somebody please remind me? Anyway, end of rant (but still irritated). Here comes a real question: 1. Before it was easy to remove a layout for a specific controller and use the default application.rhtml layout. In my case the application.rhtml has all my navigational tabs and stuff like that. Now when I remove the layout created by the scaffold command I get an error. Could somebody please tell me how to remove the layout file created my this fabulous 2.0 scaffold command? ---

Rails 2.0 is a major version upgrade. You should expect breakages and deprecations. Can you tell us the exact error you get? Can’t help you much without that. 🙂 –Jeremy On Tue, May 20, 2008 at 10:23 PM, Steven L.

Guess what? I figured it out. Must have been the venting. Thanks for the help offer. ---

I don’t know the solution. The next time I removed the layout file it just started working! The only thing I could think of is, initially when I got the error, I had only renamed the layout file to something I didn’t think would be picked up. Maybe what I renamed it to still got picked up, but not picked up correctly. Maybe when it worked it was because I renamed it to something different than the first time I renamed it? Then once it started working I removed the layout file. I know this isn’t much help, but it’s the best I can do.
