Question

I am using Rails v2.3.2

I generate a controller by:

script/generate controller cars

It will create many directories and files:

  exists  app/controllers/
  exists  app/helpers/
  create  app/views/cars
  create  test/functional/
  create  test/unit/helpers/
  create  app/controllers/cars_controller.rb
  create  test/functional/cars_controller_test.rb
  create  app/helpers/cars_helper.rb
  create  test/unit/helpers/cars_helper_test.rb

Two questions:

1. How can I revert this command back?(What is the command to revert it back)?

2 What is the command if I only want to generate app/controllers/cars_controller.rb without other files and directories been generated?

Answer 1

Either should work

    rails destroy controller cars  #rails 3

    script/destroy controller cars #rails 2

And if you want to just create a controller file, you might as well create a new file and rename it to cars_controller.rb .
