scaffolding hates me, please help.

Hello folks,

Well, I am really new to RoR, but I am doing my best to learn. I have followed the Apple tutorial as well as the ONLamp one. However, both have resulted in problems. So, I decided to hit Lynda.com, hoping a more visual walk through would be better. It has been of great help, however, in all three tutorials, I have fallen in the same place. In all cases, I create the app "rails app_name". Then I create my controller and my model using script/generate. Then, I create the databases using mysql command line, those all work fine. I even was able to run rake db:migrate, and for the first time, that too worked. Once here, I can either run the scaffold command or manually type 'scaffold :whatever' and start the server and no matter what I do, I cannot get it to get to the scaffold stage, or a working database application. Does anybody see my faults or have some tips. All of the searching I do brings me to people who have successfully ran it the first time and have gotten it to work but it maybe is not working how it is supposed to or something goes wrong on Appache. I am running basic Rails 2.0.1 on Mac OS X Leopard. Please help! Thanks in advanced!

Dynamic scaffolding has been pulled from rails 2. You can get it back
via a plugin (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/scaffolding)

Thanks, now, is there a way I know it works? I used the command script/plugin source http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/scaffolding and it gave me 'Added 1 repositories.' I did this while in the same directory as my project. Should I do this somewhere else so that all projects I create have scaffolding. Again, all help is appreciated a ton!

Hey bud I am facing the exact same problem. I followed what was adviced to you. But I digged a little more. And here is what you actually need to do and what you should get. This is something I suppose application specific.

C:\Users\Blasphemer\music_library\script>ruby plugin install http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/rails/plugins/scaffolding/ + ./MIT-LICENSE + ./README + ./Rakefile + ./init.rb + ./lib/scaffolding.rb + ./lib/templates/edit.erb + ./lib/templates/layout.erb + ./lib/templates/list.erb + ./lib/templates/new.erb + ./lib/templates/show.erb + ./test/scaffolding_test.rb

As eveything got installed here C:\Users\Blasphemer\music_library\vendor\plugins\scaffolding\lib

This is my windows vista pc. So the paths would be different for you.

It then needed classic_pagination whoes website is down. So the best is to go back to rails 1.2.6 for those who still are learning it.

gem install rails -v=1.2.6
