Question

I know this is simple but I don’t remember how to do this and wasn’t able to find it on Google…

I rarely need a controller-specific helper file, so I would prefer that when I generate a Controller the helper (and helper spec) not be generated along with it.

I tried

#application.rb
config.generators do |g|
  g.helpers false
end

…but that didn’t work. How do you change that?

You are close, according to http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2011/02/understanding-the-latest-rails-benchmarks/

config.generators.helper = false
