Question

My migration is as follows:

class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration   def self.up     create_table :users do |t|       t.string :email       t.string :password       t.string :name       t.boolean :male       t.boolean :admin        t.timestamps     end   end    def self.down     drop_table :users   end end 

When I go to script/console and type ‘User’, Rails does not recognize the class.

Answer 1

Did you run script/generate model User ... or script/generate migration CreateUser...?

If you do not generate the model, it won’t be available in the console, as Rails doesn’t know it exists.

Rails also does not create a modelname_id field, it simply creates an id field which autoincrements.

I hope this helps.
