WysiHat Engine script/generate generator command not working

[dpie]

I tried to install WysiHat Engine on Mac OS 10.5.8. Here's a breakdown of my attempts. All of the following commands were performed inside the "/Users/dpie/Sites/my_app" directory. All password prompts have been removed.

• Installed Paperclip 2.3.1.1 as a plugin
• Set "config.gem 'wysihat-engine', :source => 'http://gemcutter.org'" in environment.rb

  $ sudo rake gems:install
  (in /Users/dpie/Sites/my_app)
  gem install wysihat-engine --source http://gemcutter.org
  ERROR:  Error installing wysihat-engine:
    wysihat-engine requires thoughtbot-paperclip (>= 2.3.1, runtime)

• Set "config.gem 'paperclip', :source => 'http://gemcutter.org'" in environment.rb
• Removed "config.gem 'wysihat-engine', :source => 'http://gemcutter.org'" from environment.rb
• Removed Paperclip plugin and installed it as a gem instead

  $ sudo rake gems:install
  (in /Users/dpie/Sites/my_app)
  gem install paperclip --source http://gemcutter.org
  Successfully installed paperclip-2.3.1.1
  1 gem installed

  Installing RDoc documentation for paperclip-2.3.1.1...

  $ gem list --local
  *** LOCAL GEMS ***
  ...
  paperclip (2.3.1.1)

  $ sudo rake gems:unpack
  (in /Users/dpie/Sites/my_app)
  Unpacked gem: '/Users/dpie/Sites/my_app/vendor/gems/paperclip-2.3.1.1'

  $ sudo rake gems:install
  (in /Users/dpie/Sites/my_app)

• Set "config.gem 'wysihat-engine', :source => 'http://gemcutter.org'" in environment.rb

  $ sudo rake gems:install
  (in /Users/dpie/Sites/my_app)
  gem install wysihat-engine --source http://gemcutter.org
  ERROR:  Error installing wysihat-engine:
    wysihat-engine requires thoughtbot-paperclip (>= 2.3.1, runtime)

• Tried installing the normal gem way

  $ sudo gem install wysihat-engine
  ERROR:  could not find gem wysihat-engine locally or in a repository

  $ sudo gem install wysihat-engine --source http://gemcutter.org
  ERROR:  Error installing wysihat-engine:
    wysihat-engine requires thoughtbot-paperclip (>= 2.3.1, runtime)

• Forced WysiHat Engine gem to ignore errors and install

  $ sudo gem install wysihat-engine --source http://gemcutter.org -f
  Successfully installed wysihat-engine-0.1.7
  1 gem installed
  Installing ri documentation for wysihat-engine-0.1.7...
  Installing RDoc documentation for wysihat-engine-0.1.7...

  $ gem list --local
  *** LOCAL GEMS ***
  ...
  paperclip (2.3.1.1)
  wysihat-engine (0.1.7)

• Tried running the generate code without, then with 'sudo'

  $ script/generate wysihat
  -bash: script/generate: Permission denied

  $ sudo script/generate wysihat
  sudo: script/generate: command not found

• Unpacked the gem and tried again

  $ sudo rake gems:unpack
  (in /Users/dpie/Sites/my_app)
  Unpacked gem: '/Users/dpie/Sites/my_app/vendor/gems/wysihat-engine-0.1.7'

  $ script/generate wysihat
  -bash: script/generate: Permission denied

  $ sudo script/generate wysihat
  sudo: script/generate: command not found

Verified that the generate file did in fact exist, then tried changing file permissions. Nothing worked. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for this long description of you problem. Great to see you've taken the time to explain it :)

If I understand correctly, the problem is in the script/generate command. What version of Rails are you using? If the script/generate command can't be found, it's probably something with Rails. Do you have this problem in other Rails projects?

Could you try to install the WysiHat Engine Demo app (http://github.com/80beans/wysihat-engine-demo) to see if that works? You could try to run the generator in there to see if it regenerates the files in the project.

Thanks again!

Hi Jeff,

This project is running Rails 2.3.4, upgraded from 2.0.2. I haven't needed to run script/generate since the update, so I'll play with that to see if its working in other cases. I'll also download the Demo app and test that.

Hopefully I just forgot to run some command during the 2.3.4 update or something!

Thanks,

Hi Jeff,

It appears there were two issues with my Rails 2.3.4 project.

• It didn't update the /script/ files during 'rake rails:update'. To fix this, I created a fresh Rails 2.3.4 project and diff'd the changes into my existing project.
• All my project files were 664 permissions, but the /script/ files need to be 755 permissions.

With those issues fixed, the script/generate command worked perfect.

Thanks!
