I wrote acts\_as\_authenticated with the assumption you’re going to take it and run with it for your own nefarious purposes. I find a generator is best for that. If you look at acts\_as\_authenticated, you’ll see that it uses generators to write out migration scripts. Just add a note in your README to run your migration generator first. – rick [http://techno-weenie.net](http://techno-weenie.net) ---

Pat, That is the right place, but Radiant includes its own version of RSpec. However, it shouldn’t conflict with the other plugins… Sean ---

Hi Sean I’ve installed all four of those plugins - but when I run script/ generate, it doesn’t know about the cucumber generators. – Pat ---

Aha. I was looking at the source of script/generate and it doesn’t load environment.rb, only boot.rb, so I don’t think it’s likely to grab generators from those plugins. If you have some time right now, let’s powwow on the IRC channel. Maybe we can figure this out. Sean ---

Update for the list: managed to get a solution figured out so generators in vendor/plugins are now loaded. Change is in GitHub. Thanks Sean for the help. – Pat ---

Sorry Sean, that last email was a little useless and blunt. Is there anything I can do to help debug why generators aren’t working? It’s not something I’m particularly knowledgeable about with Rails. Would it be a Rails thing? Or Radiant-related? – Pat
