rails 4

Will this work for rails 4?

Renamed the wrong app? The one I wasn't in the directory of when I ran rename_to?

Yesterday I cloned a git repo into my local repo folder. I used rename gem to rename it. Lets call the repo I pulled down generic-app and say that I renamed it to app-1. Worked great, thanks for making this program.

However, this morning having to work on a different project that called for starting from that same generic-app, I again cloned a copy of generic-app to my code folder. So now in my code directory I have app-1 from yesterday and generic-app that I just cloned. I navigate my terminal into the generic-app directory and run the rails g rename:app_to app-2 command to change the name to app-2 so that I will have app-1 and app-2 in my code directory.

But thats not what happened. Rather than renaming the app of the directory my terminal was currently navigated to (generic-app), it renamed the one that had already been renamed yesterday (app-1). So now in my code directory I have app-2 and generic-app, app-1 from yesterday is gone. I happened to have the app-1 project open in my text editor at the time so I was able to see that all the pages were edited and that this was a case of the wrong app being renamed rather than anything else.

Any idea how to prevent this in the future?

Missing some things

Ran it on my Rails 4 app:
didn't change README title
didn't change database names
didn't change title and description in app/views/layouts/application.html.slim

helpful though!

undefined method `parent' for AnyAppName::Application:Class (NoMethodError) Did you mean? present?

I'm getting this error when trying to run the generator in rails 6.1.3.1

undefined method `parent' for AnyAppName::Application:Class (NoMethodError) Did you mean? present?

License missing from gemspec

RubyGems.org doesn't report a license for your gem. This is because it is not specified in the gemspec of your last release.

via e.g.

spec.license = 'MIT'
# or
spec.licenses = ['MIT', 'GPL-2']

Including a license in your gemspec is an easy way for rubygems.org and other tools to check how your gem is licensed. As you can imagine, scanning your repository for a LICENSE file or parsing the README, and then attempting to identify the license or licenses is much more difficult and more error prone. So, even for projects that already specify a license, including a license in your gemspec is a good practice. See, for example, how rubygems.org uses the gemspec to display the rails gem license.

There is even a License Finder gem to help companies/individuals ensure all gems they use meet their licensing needs. This tool depends on license information being available in the gemspec. This is an important enough issue that even Bundler now generates gems with a default 'MIT' license.

I hope you'll consider specifying a license in your gemspec. If not, please just close the issue with a nice message. In either case, I'll follow up. Thanks for your time!

Appendix:

If you need help choosing a license (sorry, I haven't checked your readme or looked for a license file), GitHub has created a license picker tool. Code without a license specified defaults to 'All rights reserved'-- denying others all rights to use of the code.
Here's a list of the license names I've found and their frequencies

p.s. In case you're wondering how I found you and why I made this issue, it's because I'm collecting stats on gems (I was originally looking for download data) and decided to collect license metadata,too, and make issues for gemspecs not specifying a license as a public service :). See the previous link or my blog post about this project for more information.

Project name conflicting with breeders model name

I propose to change the rails project name to 'myBreeder' (temp name) in order to migrate the name of what is currently the 'breedco' model to 'breeders'.

Rails 7 support?

Dear contributors, thank you for this nice solution!

However, under Rails 7, it claims [Error] Already in use, please choose another name. Any plans to make Rename gem work properly for Rails 7?

Best!

Just missing little small things when renaming ruby mine project

Run it on my rails 5, works amazing.
It even rename project name inside .idea directory since i'm using RubyMine.

However there is little things that it miss,

• Renaming .ideas/[project name].iml to .ideas/[new name].iml
• Files inside runConfiguration folder is also not renamed, however these files can be deleted and the IDE will recreate the new one.

Thanks
