Creating a rails 3 app generator executable using thor

rubyonrails-core
1

For inspiration I have been looking into rails 3.0pre

I found this in the file bin/rails

2

except I run into the following issue

module Nifty   module Generators     class ScaffoldGenerator < Base ...       def initialize(*args, &block)         super

        args_for_c_m.each do |arg|           if arg == '!'             options[:invert] = true <<<<<< line 53 ...         if @model_attributes.empty?           options[:skip_model] = true <<<<<<<<

end

I fixed it with a pretty ugly hack :stuck_out_tongue:

      def initialize(*args, &block)         super

        @my_options ||= {} ...           if arg == '!'             @my_options[:invert] = true ...         if @model_attributes.empty?           @my_options[:skip_model] = true

      def do_skip_model?         options.skip_model? || @my_options[:skip_model]       end

      def do_invert?         options.invert? || @my_options[:invert]       end

      def create_model         unless do_skip_model? ...

I'm sure there must be better ways around this!

I have also managed to create executables for all my generators!
