Is it my environment? Is something wrong, cause I thought this should just work? I have a simple table and I created a model and a controller: ruby script/generate controller Restaurant ruby script/generate model Restaurant I edited the controller to this: class RestaurantController < ApplicationController scaffold :Restaurant end I run it and: http://0.0.0.0:3000/Restaurant works fine, gives me a list of restaurants. If I click on edit though I get this: Showing usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/templates/scaffolds/edit.rhtml where line #4 raised: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) Extracted source (around line #4): 1: <h1>Editing <%= @scaffold_singular_name %></h1> 2: 3: <%= error_messages_for(@scaffold_singular_name) %> 4: <%= form(@scaffold_singular_name, :action => "update#{@scaffold_suffix}") %> 5: 6: <%= link_to "Show", :action => "show#{@scaffold_suffix}", :id => instance_variable_get("@#{@scaffold_singular_name}") %> | 7: <%= link_to "Back", :action => "list#{@scaffold_suffix}" %> Likewise if I click on New: ArgumentError in Restaurant#new Showing usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/templates/scaffolds/new.rhtml where line #4 raised: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) Extracted source (around line #4): 1: <h1>New <%= @scaffold_singular_name %></h1> 2: 3: <%= error_messages_for(@scaffold_singular_name) %> 4: <%= form(@scaffold_singular_name, :action => "create#{@scaffold_suffix}") %> 5: 6: <%= link_to "Back", :action => "list#{@scaffold_suffix}" %> Here''s my table definition; CREATE TABLE `restaurants` ( `id` INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '''', `phone` VARCHAR(14) NOT NULL DEFAULT '''', `fax` VARCHAR(14) NOT NULL DEFAULT '''', `email` VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT '''', `web` VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT '''', `address1` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '''', `address2` VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT '''', `city` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '''', `state` CHAR(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '''', `zip` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '''', `open` BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, PRIMARY KEY(`id`) ) ENGINE = InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8; This on Mac OSX.
