Hi,

I am attempting to use script/generate resource. According to this  
post:  
[http://www.softiesonrails.com/2008/1/29/rails-rest-101-meets-rails-2-0](http://www.softiesonrails.com/2008/1/29/rails-rest-101-meets-rails-2-0)  
it should create all of my methods in my controller automatically. For  
some reason, it creates the controller, but doesn’t create any of the  
methods.

Am i missing something? Is there somewhere that tells me exactly what  
these scripts do?

Thanks!

Problem Solved.

Apparently script/generate resource does not create the controller  
actions for you (not too sure why not).

For information take a look at this post:  
[http://www.softiesonrails.com/2008/1/29/rails-rest-101-meets-rails-2-0](http://www.softiesonrails.com/2008/1/29/rails-rest-101-meets-rails-2-0)

He also created a TextMate snippet at:  
[http://softiesonrails.com/2007/12/14/textmate-snippet-for-restful-controller](http://softiesonrails.com/2007/12/14/textmate-snippet-for-restful-controller)  
that will create all of the methods for you.
