Using Rails 4.1.1 this command:
rails g scaffold Main home contact events about
.... generates:
app/controllers/mains_controller.rb
Why has 's' been appended? This didn't happen with 4.1.0.
gvim

Did you mean "rails g controller main home contact event about"?
If you use scaffold Rails with generate based on "Main" being a model first then generate a controller and views based on the model name pluralized based on inflections database.
It also seems really odd to me your choice of methods to add to your controller. Shouldn't "home", "contact", "events" and "about" have their own controllers with their own routes?
$ rails g controller main home contact events about create app/controllers/main_controller.rb route get 'main/about' route get 'main/events' route get 'main/contact' route get 'main/home' invoke erb create app/views/main create app/views/main/home.html.erb create app/views/main/contact.html.erb create app/views/main/events.html.erb create app/views/main/about.html.erb invoke test_unit create test/controllers/main_controller_test.rb invoke helper create app/helpers/main_helper.rb invoke test_unit create test/helpers/main_helper_test.rb invoke assets invoke coffee create app/assets/javascripts/main.js.coffee invoke scss create app/assets/stylesheets/main.css.scss
$ rake routes Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action main_home GET /main/home(.:format) main#home main_contact GET /main/contact(.:format) main#contact main_events GET /main/events(.:format) main#events main_about GET /main/about(.:format) main#about
I suppose this would work, but still seems quite add to me.
That’s always been the case. I would recommend going through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org to understand the basic conventions used in Rails. The model name is usually singular, such as Main. The controller is the pluralized version of the model name, as is the name of the table it creates in the database. In this case, your controller name is mains and if you run rake db:migrate, the table that gets set up in the database will also be mains.
