Following this tutorial for setting up ActiveScaffold with Rails3:

and, when I run the following command:

rails g active_scaffold_setup [prototype| jquery]

I get the following:

C:\Users\Abder-Rahman\Desktop\howto>rails g active_scaffold_setup [prototype| jq uery] 'jquery]' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Why is that?

Thanks.

And, also:

C:\Users\Abder-Rahman\Desktop\howto>rails g active_scaffold_setup [prototype] Could not find generator active_scaffold_setup.

C:\Users\Abder-Rahman\Desktop\howto>rails g active_scaffold_setup [jquery] Could not find generator active_scaffold_setup.

C:\Users\Abder-Rahman\Desktop\howto>rails g active_scaffold_setup [prototype| jq uery] 'jquery]' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Why is that?

Because you're supposed to run either rails g active_scaffold_setup prototype or rails g active_scaffold_setup jquery depending on which js library you'd rather be used/

Thanks @radhames. If you see my preceding posts you will find that I don't get the command to run. I don't know where is the issue.

i suggest you dont user active scaffold until you know more about rails, it is only useful if you dont want to learn and are lazy

@radhames. The case I want to use ActiveScaffold is that there is a very quick application I have to get done. But, as you see, stuck in that command.

What command did you use to install it?

And which folder were you in when you ran it?

If there was no response I suspect it did not work. Have you got git installed? If it did install the plugin you should see it under the vendor dir in your app (or wherever it goes in Rails 3).

I got the command run after cloning the plugin from git and manuallly moving it to vendor/plugins in the Rails application folder.

Thanks all.
