padrino-gen admin > Please specify generator to use

[Patrick]

I'm trying to set up padrino on debian squeeze.
I can get a padrino app up on :3000.

My issue is that when I try to padrino-gen admin it balks as if it
doesn't know what admin is:

Please specify generator to use (project, app, mailer, controller,
model, migration)

I can't seem to track down what the issue is, but I'm guessing it
might have to do with paths? I've already had more than one issue
tracking down path errors.

I'm looking in padrino-gen-0.9.10/lib/padrino-gen/generators/cli.rb
The culprit line seems to be that for some reason generator_kind admin
isn't mapping to a class.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mmm, super strange.

$ padrino g project foo -d activerecord # you need a db adapter for generate the admin
$ cd foo # very important
$ padrino g admin

If you still have problems with paths try to setup an rvm http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/

I'm trying to use datamapper > sqlite3 for ORM. I'll give
activerecord > sqlite a spin.

Nope. No go. The lines immediately following the padrino-gen
statements below are from some puts I've added to cli.rb:

def setup
Padrino::Generators.load_components!
puts "ARGV: #{ARGV}"
generator_kind = ARGV.delete_at(0).to_s.downcase.to_sym if
ARGV[0].present?
puts "generator_kind: #{generator_kind}"
generator_class = Padrino::Generators.mappings[generator_kind]
puts "generator_class: #{generator_class}"
if generator_class
puts "inside of generator_class call"
args = ARGV.empty? && generator_class.require_arguments? ?
["-h"] : ARGV
generator_class.start(args)
else
puts "Please specify generator to use
(#{Padrino::Generators.mappings.keys.join(", ")})"
end
end

Thanks for pointing out the rvms. I'll look into those as well.

Patrick,
Check you gem directory ((looks lie maybe /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems)
and see if you have padrino-admin installed along with padrino-core,
padrino-cache, padrino-mailer, padrino-helpers and padrino ... on my
system at least those directories are present ... not sure if they're
not there what might have gone wrong, but not having padrino-admin
directory in your gem tree would i suspect cause the issue you're
seeing .... if it's not there, might try manual gem install (instead
of just the bundler approach) and see if that doesn't get you around
the problem for now ... just a thought from a fellow user.

Cheers
Scott

Yes to me it looks like the padrino-admin gem is either not installed
or is not being loaded somehow within padrino-gen. The admin
generators are registered by the padrino-admin gem if its required.
This should (and is) happening in most cases because I have tested
padrino in 1.8.6, 1.8.7, 1.9.1, and 1.9.2 and I always see the admin
generator available once padrino-admin is installed. I am curious as
to why in this case that does not appear to be working...

I have the same problem here. Gems are installed properly but I can't use "padrino g admin"

~/Development/foo$ padrino g admin

=> Located unlocked Gemfile for development

Please specify generator to use (project, app, mailer, controller, model, migration)

Tell me when you need more information on the environment.

[DAddYE]

Can you gist me your OS/Version and your Gem Env ($gem env)

Thanks so much!

Okey guys, I think there is something with Ubuntu.

After setup my ruby env I got the same error:

> Please specify generator to use (project, app, mailer, controller,
> model, migration)

Then I installed all gems for run test and now works correctly.

I think is not a problem of a missing dependency but a problem with
openssl so try this:

sudo apt-get install libssl
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby

If that dint work try to install these gems:

sdoc jeweler sinatra i18n usher thor bundler activesupport shoulda
mocha rack-test webrat haml fakeweb tmail builder datamapper
data_objects do_sqlite3 mai

And tell me what's happen.

Thanks so much!

[DAddYE]

sorry

I'll fire up two new vms (ubuntu 10.04 32-bit and debian squeeze 32-
bit) to test it out and will report back.

[Patrick]

http://gist.github.com/388462

two small changes:
cd foo after creating the project
and ar:migrate before ar:setup

Works a charm on both VMs from clean install.
Forgot to mention that my Ubuntu is the server install and squeeze is
the netinst.

SUPER! Thanks, DAddYE!
