Hi,  
I just created a new scaffold in my app using the nifty-scaffold plugin.  
However, I messed up the syntax and forgot the model name, so it ended  
up being called “Title:string”.

I now can’t run any tasks from the terminal as I get the following  
error:

vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/inflector.rb:352:in  
`const\_defined?’: wrong constant name Title:stringsHelper

Followed by lines of other complaints.

I’ve deleted the migration, controller, model and view files, but the  
error continues to occur. What else do I need to get rid of?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Try running ‘script/destroy scaffold Title:string’ and seeing if that  
takes  
care of it for you.

Or use your version control system to roll back the changes.

Check your routes file too (if you can’t roll back from your version  
control system).
