Running the scaffold_resource generator outputs usage information as follows: % ./script/generate scaffold_resource Usage: ./script/generate scaffold_resource ModelName [field:type, field:type] <snip> Which seems to indicate that one would type the command with the optional fields separated by COMMAS. For example: % ./script/generate scaffold_resource Jump num:integer, location_id:integer, description:text This yields no errors on invocation, but it does yield a broken migration: class CreateJumps < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :jumps do |t| t.column :num, :integer, t.column :location_id, :integer, t.column :description, :text end end The commas are added to the create_table loop and break the migration as ''rake db:migrate'' demonstrates: % rake db:migrate (in /usr/home/foo/src/sample) rake aborted! ./db/migrate//001_create_jumps.rb:5: parse error, unexpected tSYMBEG, expecting kEND t.column :location_id, :integer, ^ (See full trace by running task with --trace) The examples on the bottom of the usage page for scaffold_resource are correct but the [field:type, field:type] text for the command line usage seems to indicate that one should separate the fields by commas and that does not work.
