Pretty much there in the title. I worked on a project with someone else, then cloned the git repo to my computer, added a new controller, and then thought better so ran:
rails destroy controller requests
(requests is the name of the controller), only to get this endless error message:

It’s worked before, so what’s happening? Might I need to reinstall something that got overwritten?
Also, any ideas why on earth is the error pasting all that stuff about the rails tutorial I’m taking? I don’t remember that text being anywhere in my files?
Thanks
It seems like you might have an error with your routes. Did any new routes get added to your routes.rb? If so, try commenting them out and then running your command.
