Hello,
I am trying to generate a controller with all the RESTful actions stubbed. I had read at link text that all I needed to do was to use call the generator with just a controller name I would get just that. So, I ran "script/generate rspec_controller Properties" and I got an empty controller.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
try using scaffolding.
script/generate scaffold controller Properties
Section of Official docs on Ruby On Rails
I'm sure you can find more info if you do a google search on rails scaffolding. Hope that helps.
There's no way (that I know of? that is documented?) to stub out a controller except through scaffolding. But you could do:
script/generate controller WhateverController new create edit update destroy show
You're looking for scaffolding.
Try:
script/generate scaffold Property
This will give you a controller, a model, a migration and related tests. You can skip the migration with the option --skip-migration. If you don't want the others, you'll have to delete them yourself. Don't worry about overwriting existing files, that won't happen unless you use --force.
As klew points out in the comments, this also defines the method bodies for you, not just the names. It is very helpful to use as a starting point for your REST controller.
I don't know about an automated way of doing it, but if you do:
script/generate controller mycontroller new create update edit destroy index show
All of them will be created for you
