Using wicked_pdf with rails 3

[mikewilsonuk]

wicked_pdf looks like it will do exactly what I want, but I'm struggling to get it working with rails 3. I'm new to rails, so I may be doing something really dumb. When I get to the install instructions, I figured I needed to do 'rails plugin install ...' instead of 'script/plugin install ...'. The next step is 'script/generate wicked_pdf'. What is the rails 3 equivalent of that? I tried the obvious 'rails generate wicked_pdf' but that says 'Could not find generator wicked_pdf.'.

Can wicked_pdf be used with rails 3 as it is, or am I wasting my time?

Thanks, Mike Wilson

I made some more progress: it looks like I just need to copy the initialiser instead of running 'script/generate'. Now the downloaded PDF is a file with 10 blank lines.

Until we can get it rolled into this repository, you should try this fork for Rails 3 work: http://github.com/tiennou/wicked_pdf

Thanks for the advice. I kept on researching and think PDFKit is an easier solution for what I'm trying to do. I'll use that for now and come back to wicked_pdf if I need the extra power.
