Specify alternate project name when creating new rails proj?
I was just looking over the help file for the rails executable (rails --help), but I didn''t see a way to specify a specific project name. I usually keep all of my projects in a Projects folder, then sub folders based on the project name (ex: projects/client/project_name/ or projects/project_name). In each of these project sub folders I typically create additional folders for "files", "design", and "web" (for PHP projects). I''d like to start using a new "rails" sub folder (projects/project_name/rails) for projects that I''m developing in Rails, but I''m worried about any fallout as a result of using "rails" for every project name. AFAICT, the only place where the project name is explicitly written is in the database.yml file, and if so then I can easily override those values once the files have been generated. But I wonder if there is a way to specify the project name when I create the rails project, such as `rails rails "project_name"`? If not, am I correct in my assumption about it only being used to write the database file? For instance, generally in rails you would use: C:\Projects\>rails my_rails_app Which would create a rails project named my_rails_app in the Projects/ folder But I want to use: C:\Projects\my_rails_app\>rails rails To generate the rails app in the "rails" sub folder within the project folder Projects/my_rails_app. So, is there a way to generate the rails content in the "rails" subfolder, but specify the project name in addition? Or, is there a way to just generate it in the CWD folder, without worrying about a project name? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
