How to generate a controller with Ruby on Rails?

Question

I installed Ruby 1.9.3 and Rails (rubygems-1.8.24) successfully on Windows 7.

Now I need to generate a 'controller home index' on command prompt. I created a project folder called 'rails-projects' and successfully created a project called 'quizzes-on-rails'.

At:

C:\rails-projects\quizzes-on-rails

I type:

ruby script/generate controller home index

And I get the following message:

ruby: No such file or directory -- script/generate <LoadError>

I edited PATH by including C:\rails-projects\quizzes-on-rails

Any idea what is wrong?

script/generate sounds like you are reading an old tutorial for rails 1 or 2. Be sure to focus on version 3 or 4, there's no need to be learning the old methods. :) — DGM

Start cmd prompt with rails or open the rails command prompt and run:

rails g controller Foo home index

You can use:

rails g controller <ControllerName> [valid actions]

e.g.:

rails g controller Posts index show destroy
