Weird problem related I am having with scaffold

Rails
1

i,

I have this in expense_controller.rb:

class ExpenseController < ApplicationController
scaffold :expense
end

It works fine, but let’s say I want to override scaffold’s list.
For some reason, just making list.rhtml in views\expense is enough, and
there’s no need to add

def list
end

in expense_controller.rb. However, that’s not my real problem.

Now when I have this custom list action, and I want remove it, just
removing the list.rhtml won’t do it. Now there’s blank page, so
obviously it’s still using the list.rhtml although it can’t find it.
Only way to resume scaffold’s list is to restart Mongrel.

I am quite sure that this can’t be normal. Any ideas?

ps. I have the same problem with Instant Rails WEBrick.

Please don’t mind that small typo in the subject :slight_smile:

Curt does an excellent job at jump starting Ruby with Rails.
Please refer to:

Also, if you refer the the bottom part of the last page, you will
encounter others who have had similar problems getting started.

I personally recommend against newbies using the inline scaffolding.
It’s
handy in the hands of folks who understand what RoR is doing behind the
scenes but is/was, for me, too damn magical for folks trying to learn
the
basics. Instead, I recommend you use ruby script\generate Model_name
Controller_name. All will be revealed and the problem you’re having
will go
away.
