I created model named "whats_new".
$ script/generate model whats_new exists app/models/ exists test/unit/ exists test/fixtures/ create app/models/whats_new.rb create test/unit/whats_new_test.rb create test/fixtures/whats_news.yml exists db/migrate create db/migrate/*****_create_whats_news.rb

rake db:migrate WhatsNew.find() WhatsNew.new
There are no problem.
However, test/unit/whats_new_test.rb ----------------- whats_news(:data1) ----------------- => "No class attached to find."
----------------------------------------------- class Fixtures ... def initialize ... @class_name = class_name || (ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names ? @table_name.singularize.camelize : @table_name.camelize) p @class_name ... end ----------------------------------------------- => "WhatsNews" A true class name is "WhatsNew".
@table_name == "whats_news"
"whats_news".singularize.camelize
=> "WhatsNews"
"whats_new".pluralize.singularize
=> "whats_news"
By the way, I cannot speak English...
In english, 'news' is both singular and plural. A single news item is still called 'news' not 'new'.
Two choices for you..
- Add your own inflection so that 'news' is singularlized to 'news'. - Change your class name.

Keep in mind that model names should be nouns. Controller actions are verbs. In your case of WhatsNew is practically a complete sentence. "What is new?" Maybe use something like NewsItem or simply News, which rails will properly pluralize as "News." In this case the table name will be news.
Then to find out, "What is new?" you can create a named_scope that gets recent new items like this:
@recent_news_items = NewsItem.recent
or
@recent_news_items = News.recent
Thank you for everybody.
I change the class name.

It did not hit on in me. "What is new?" is in "News".
P.S. I added rails/lib/rails_generator/generators/components/model/ model_generator.rb
to
p 'warning: class_name' unless class_name == class_name.pluralize.singularize
