Error: No such file or directory, when trying to execute [ruby script/generate]?

I am writing a small blog application using Rails. I am using Aptana Studio.

When I try to execute:

ruby script/generate scaffold post title:string body:text

from either Aptana Studio or going to the project folder and executing it from the shell, I get this error:

c:\Ruby200\bin\ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- script/generate (LoadError
)

I think you are meaning to do rails generate?

First create a new Rails app:

rails new random_app
cd random_app
rails generate scaffold post title:string body:text

When you "ruby" something, it looks for a file to execute.

Rails is the framework for abstraction and scaffolding.

See "Why does Ruby "script/generate" return "No such file or directory"?".

Rails 3 is the problem. Since Rails 3, all of the "script/whatever" commands have been replaced with "rails whatever".

So now you want rails generate ... or rails server instead.
