To view the README for each generator, run it with the help option.

Troubleshooting and FAQs¶ ↑

I get “undefined method ‘title’” error.

Try running railschef:layout, that will generate this helper method. Or you can just change the templates to whatever approach you prefer for setting the title.

I can’t set new attributes in my model.

Add the attribute to the attr_accessible line in the model.

I get “undefined method ‘root_url’” error.

Some generators default redirecting to the root_url. Set this in your routes.rb file like this (substituting your controller name).

root :to => "home#index"

and make sure you have create a replacement for home when you use ‘–skip-home’ option.

I get a missing database error.

Run rake db:migrate.

I get a routing error when I try to submit a form.

Try restarting your development server. Sometimes it doesn’t detect the change in the routing.
