Question

This may have been asked somewhere else but I either couldn’t find it or the solution didn’t help me.

I successfully installed Homebrew, RVM, Ruby on Rails and mongoDB.

I followed these instructions http://mongoid.org/en/mongoid/docs/installation.html when installing mongoid but when I ran

rails g mongoid:config it said it could not find the generator.

So I ran rails g and it wasn’t in the list. I checked my gem.lock file and it wasn’t in there either. I manually put it in there but still no results.

When I ran bundle install on the project it wasn’t there either. I tried installing it in my main directory and in the project directory to no avail.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated as I am new to this.

EDIT: My gem.lock file:

Answer 1

As per instructions, add

gem "mongoid", "~> 3.0.0"

to your Gemfile to use Mongoid 3, and then

bundle install

Make sure that bundle install succeeds, check Gemfile.lock for mongoid, then

rails g mongoid:config
