Problem running app generator standalone
Reported by Steve Hodgkiss | March 4th, 2011 @ 02:33 PM
I'm trying to use the AppGenerator inside an engine, and the copy_file method is going directly to fileutils instead of using the thor actions method. The error is on master, it works on 3.0.5.
rake generate looks something like this:
require 'rails/generators'
require 'rails/generators/rails/app/app_generator'
class TestAppGenerator < Rails::Generators::AppBase
source_root File.expand_path("../templates", __FILE__)
def run_rails_new
invoke Rails::Generators::AppGenerator, ["spec/dummy"]
end
...
end
TestAppGenerator.start
% rake generate --trace
(in /Users/steve/code/engine_test)
** Invoke generate (first_time)
** Execute generate
exist
rake aborted!
wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)

Using git diff I've tracked it down to the removal of a bunch of methods being defined in 3.0.5 which are removed in master.
git diff v3.0.5..master railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/app/app_generator.rb
0904e8256864239f673bf91fce1cfffb9345ee61 - This is the commit that stops it working, although I find it strange that it's from October last year and it's not in the 3.0.5 release. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong commit.
In any case adding the method definitions back solves the problem I'm having. I can't figure out why it fails in this case but works fine through the rails command though...
Thanks

This is due running it with rake, where FileUtils is included into the top level module causing method_missing not to be used on Rails::ActionMethods.
I've put an example on github that demonstrates this - https://github.com/stevehodgkiss/rails-ticket-8994
