ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin - doesn't create admin

[danelectro]

i'm going through chapter 6 of agile web development with rails (pdf) . i'm running the example on page 53, and instead of giving me views in the admin directory, it creates them in the products directory.

so i can't access (as the book shows) the url using:
http://localhost:3000/admin

but i can get there (and create items) using:
http://localhost:3000/products

has anyone else experienced this?

i'm using xp, with ruby 1.8.2

(output from the command)
C:\temp\ard\depot>ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin
exists app/controllers/
exists app/helpers/
create app/views/products
exists test/functional/
dependency model
exists app/models/
exists test/unit/
exists test/fixtures/
create app/models/product.rb
create test/unit/product_test.rb
create test/fixtures/products.yml
create app/views/products/_form.rhtml
create app/views/products/list.rhtml
create app/views/products/show.rhtml
create app/views/products/new.rhtml
create app/views/products/edit.rhtml
create app/controllers/products_controller.rb
create test/functional/products_controller_test.rb
create app/helpers/products_helper.rb
create app/views/layouts/products.rhtml
create public/stylesheets/scaffold.css

Yes, it seems that you entered the controller and model backwards for what you wanted to do. try this instead:

script/generate scaffold Admin Product

That should give you an admin controller for your product model.

thanks for the suggestion, but that syntax gives an error:

C:\temp\ard\depot>ruby script/generate scaffold Admin Product
exists app/controllers/
exists app/helpers/
create app/views/admins
exists test/functional/
dependency model
exists app/models/
exists test/unit/
exists test/fixtures/
create app/models/admin.rb
create test/unit/admin_test.rb
create test/fixtures/admins.yml
error Before updating scaffolding from new DB schema, try creating a tab
le for your model (Admin)

here is the text from the book:

depot> ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin
dependency model
exists app/models/
exists test/unit/
exists test/fixtures/
create app/models/product.rb
create test/unit/product_test.rb
: :
create app/views/admin/show.rhtml
create app/views/admin/new.rhtml
create app/views/admin/edit.rhtml
create app/views/admin/_form.rhtml

That wasn’t hard now, was it?

That single command has written a basic maintenance application. The
Product parameter told the command the name of the model we want, and
the Admin parameter specifies the name of the controller.

Did you already have a controller called admin before running this?
It should work anyway, but are you running the latest rails (1.0)?

By the way, you can get help for those commands by running them without arguments, i.e
script/generate scaffold
gives you the help for the scaffold generator, while
script/generate
shows help for generators in general.
