Generated scaffold for model with same plural as singular gives errors
Reported by Tim Diggins | August 25th, 2009 @ 02:27 PM
If you generate a scaffold from a model for which the plural and singular forms are the same (like species), then there are some errors:
in new.html.erb:
<% form_for(@MODELNAME) do |f| %>
needs to be changed to <% form_for(@MODELNAME, :url=>
{:action=>'create'}) do |f| %>
<%= link_to 'Back', MODELNAME_path %>
needs to be changed to
<%= link_to 'Back', MODELNAME_index_path %>
I haven't dived into the code to work out how to add a test for this and patch, but could do if that is likely to be useful

Tim, it seems to be a very rare case where scaffold does not work by default. By this reason, I'm marking it as won't fix. The amount of code necessary to make it work by default does not seem to fit the use.

I agree, and that's a very sensible response! Maybe having this "won't fix" issue will do some good, by helping the rare few who have this problem and search for it.
