Switching from 1.2.8 -> 2.1: Scaffold doesn't display MySQL fields

rubyonrails-talk

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to switch to the newest version of Rails and I've already set up a test application and connected it to MySQL using "-- databse=mysql". The database is named accordingly, so the app is called "the_app", the database is called "the_app_development" and I created a table "posts" inside the database. When I create a scaffold using "script/generate scaffold Post" it generates all the files but the content (include table headers, form fields etc.) doesn't show up. I get the titles like "Listing posts" and also links to Show, Edit, Destroy and New post but not the actual content/form fields.

Hi,

created a table "posts" inside the database. When I create a scaffold using "script/generate scaffold Post" it generates all the files but the content (include table headers, form fields etc.) doesn't show up. I get the titles like "Listing posts" and also links to Show, Edit, Destroy and New post but not the actual content/form fields.    yes.. the behavior of the scaffold generator changed. Now you have to tell Rails which fields/types you want to include in the scaffold. Something like

script/generate scaffold Post title:string publicated_at:datetime

and so on

good luck!
