I asked this question before, but didn''t get any response. I hope someone can give me some clue now. Here''s the background, I upgraded to rails 1.1 and suddenly I was getting strange failures in my functional tests. I traced the problem to dynamic scaffolding. I had overwritten all of scaffold''s methods in my controller (all but show and destroy). Destroy no longer deleted the given item, and (more importantly) the functional tests called scaffold''s version of create, rather than mine (though when run in the server, the correct version was called). I created a duplicate of my application, and used ScaffoldGenerator on the duplicate. I then copied the show.rhtml and the two undefined methods (show and destroy) into my application. After commenting out dynamic scaffolding, everything works perfectly, no failures in the tests, etc). So there''s clearly some difference between dynamic scaffolding and the code generated by ScaffoldGenerator. Is this a bug in dynamic scaffold? Does anyone know anything about this? Other difference: When testing dynamic scaffold destroy method, I needed the following: assert_redirected_to :action => :list But the ScaffoldGenerator method required the following: assert_redirected_to :action => "list" -Rich-
