rbac_bootstrap generator problem

[Feurio]

Hello folks,

I do have a hard time with the rbac_bootstrap generator.

I have active-rbac 0.5, rails 1.2.4.(I also tried 1.2.3) and ruby
1.8.6.

This command 'ruby script/generate rbac_bootstrap Test' produces this
error message:
----------
exists app/controllers
exists app/models
exists app/views/auth
exists test/unit
exists test/functional
identical app/controllers/auth_controller.rb
undefined method `error_messages_for' for
#<Rails::Generator::Commands::Create:0x3356594>
----------

It seems somehow to be related to erb because if I comment this out in
rbac_bootstrap_generator.rb

m.template "#{str}.rhtml", "app/views/auth/#{str}.rhtml"

everything works. But of course the rhtml-template files are not
created.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Bit of a late reply, but here's a guess: the generator script tries to
interpret the <% %> tagged functions in login.rhtml and logout.rhtml,
which is not at all what we want to have happen (the functions in
those tags should be interpreted when the view is accessed, not by the
generator script). The solution seems to be to to add tags around the
offending lines in the files, i.e. replace <%= error_messages_for
'user' %> with <%%= error_messages_for 'user' %>. More lines in those
files might need to be changed. I haven't had time to test it myself.
Look at the end of this wiki page for a similar problem:

Wouldn't be much easier to just copy the files?
Is there something that needs to be interpreted in these rhtml
templates during generation?

If the intent is to just copy the file then you can change the
m.template => m.file

BTW. When I run the bootstrap with
./scripts/generate rbac_bootstrap it complains with:
Usage: script/generate rbac_bootstrap RbacBootstrapName [options]

What is RbacBootstrapName?

I just did the change. Update to current trunk to see the changes.

I inherited from Generator::NamedBase instead of Generator::Base. I
changed this to Generator::Base so you do not have to enter this any
more.

Bests,
