I'm building a gem simply to go through the processes, and I'm trying to add a generator to it. When I run $ rails g
, my generator shows up:
Mygem:
mygem:install
but rails doesn't recognize it
rails g mygem:install
Could not find generator mygem:install.
I have my gem pointed to the latest version in my gemfile
#mygem/lib/rails/generators/mygem_generator.rb
require 'rails/generators'
require 'rails/generators/base'
module Mygem
class InstallGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base
def test
puts 'hi'
end
end
end
.

spec.homepage = ""
spec.license = "MIT"
spec.files = `git ls-files -z`.split("\x0")
spec.executables = spec.files.grep(%r{^bin/}) { |f| File.basename(f) }
spec.test_files = spec.files.grep(%r{^(test|spec|features)/})
spec.require_paths = ["lib"]
spec.add_development_dependency "bundler", "~> 1.5"
spec.add_development_dependency "rake"
end
We've just made a gem, and have a generator which allows you to call rails generate exception_handler:install
, like this:
#lib/generators/my_gem/install_generator.rb
module MyGem
class InstallGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base
def test
puts "hi"
end
end
end
This should help you - it works for us
