I’m new to ruby on rails so i’m using the book Agile Web Development

  • 0

I’m new to ruby on rails so i’m using the book Agile Web Development with Rails to learn from. The problem I’m having is that when the directory structure of my app is built. I do not have this directory :

app/assets

Of course I can create this directory structure manually, but I’m following the book exactly and this structure should be generated with my app (to the best of my understanding). Am I missing something simple?

NOTE: I'm using ruby --version
ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [x86_64-darwin11.2.0]

rails --version
Rails 3.0.1

    You’ll need to update to the latest version of Rails to be able to use the asset pipeline. It exists starting in 3.1.0

    If you are using rvm:

    gem install rails

    Put sudo in front of that if you are not.

    One other thing to note is that if you generate the app with Ruby 1.9.2, you’ll need to use at least that version in production.
