Rails - Jul 2007 - Rename a controller

Is there a generator that can rename a controller? I don''t want to have
to manually change all of the files that are associated with the
controller.

No. Search and replace the name, then run all your unit tests. Don''t 
integrate (commit to Subversion) until they all pass.

Such a generator would be impossible, because it would have to parse Ruby on 
the fly, and _then_ do everything your unit tests do.

My understanding is that such a feature is making it''s way into Code  
Gears re-factoring capabilities.

I haven''t seen it myself, but David "I" mentioned it at
railsconf.

I don''t think there''s a generator; you''ll probably
have to write a
script to automate the process and wrap it in a Rake task, or just run
it standalone.  I imagine there are such scripts around, so maybe this
thread will flush one out.
