Rake doc:rails fails

Rails
1

Hi there,

Running doc:rails and doc:rerails on a fresh rails directory after
running ‘rake freeze_gems’ fail with the following error:

Don’t know how to build task ‘vendor/rails/activesupport/README’

Should it work? That file doesn’t seem to exist.

If that’s not the sequence for generating the api documentation, what
should it be?

I’m a noob, so don’t take my answer as final, but I use ‘rake appdoc’
successfully.

That generates the documentation for a given application. I want the
API docs, as presented at http://api.rubyonrails.org. rake -T lists
rake doc:rails and rake doc:rerails as options, but neither of them
works - at least, not the way I’m expecting, which may well be wrong.

This is rails 1.1.2 on Ruby 1.8.4.

I mentioned this to the team when I was writing about generating
documentation for the book, and the next release will include the README
in the Gem. In the meantime, creating a dummy file allows the
documentation to proceed.

Excellent. Thanks for that.
