Hello,

I did a fresh install of ruby182 and gem rails --include-dependencies

Now when I do:  
rails receipts  
cd receipts  
ruby script\generate scaffold receipt receipt

rails does not create the views or controller.

What can I do?

Thanks

Frank

The scaffold generator wants either CamelCase names (e.g. Bob or  
SomeThing) or underscored ‘Ruby-style’ names.

The above command should create a receipt.rb model, and a  
receipts\_controller.rb controller, along with the views, tests, etc.

I tried your suggestion, but it still does not create a controller or  
views.

I am using postgresql.

Do I need to install anything?

Thanks

did you install the mysql gem?

Nevermind,

I found gem install postgres-pr

I feel foolish.

Thanks for your help.
