Generators not appearing in "rails -T"

[drnic]

rails -T does not include the generators included in this gem. I'm using the gem as installed/configured in JSP.

Within JSP:

$ rails -T | grep not
rails annotate_models                              # Add schema information (as comments) to model and fixture files
rails annotate_routes                              # Adds the route map to routes.rb
rails db:prepare                                   # Runs setup if database does not exist, or runs migrations if it does
rails remove_annotation                            # Remove schema information from model and fixture files
~~~

That's interesting, I had noticed that on Madmin the other day that one of the commands wasn't showing. Wonder why that is?

AFAIK you just need that desc call before the generator method https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/generators.html#creating-your-first-generator but its been a while since I did write a generator

I'll try to fix it out of retro curiosity

Closing because I'm an idiot.

• rails -T returns list of rake tasks
• rails g returns list of generators

$ rails g
...
Noticed:
  noticed:delivery_method
  noticed:model
  noticed:notification

• To get help for a generator:

$ rails g noticed:model --help
Usage:
  rails generate noticed:model [Notification] [field:type field:type] [options]
...

Ah! That makes sense.

Is it because of the rake file that you see things like rails turbo:install in rails -T

Gonna reopen this. I think it would be handy to have both and we can have the rake task run the generator.

Should be an easy PR if someone wants to do this. 👍

Maybe having one task per generator, or at least repeating the noticed:model generator, would just add trash to the tasks list.

What we could have is a noticed:install task that would call noticed:model and noticed:application_notification (see #94) generators.

I dunno, we're only going to have 3 generators. I don't think 3 will make anything messy.
