Chapter 7: Trouble generating migration

[pdenlinger]

Hi--

I'm having trouble with the following command on page 196 in the Ruby script console:

ruby script/generate migration AddPermalinkToStories

Every time, I get the same error message:
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb): parse error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kDO or '{' or '('

I have tried to change my spacing, adding parentheses, braces, etc. but get the same error message.

What's wrong?

Thanks in advance.

You are using IRB, but you should be using the OS command line. If you see irb...> you should type "exit" and try the command again.

That was the problem; now it's working. Thank you!
