Unable to create bootstrap-themed scaffold in Ruby on Rails

Question

I'm trying to generate a bootstrap-themed scaffold via the following actions:

• Add gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails' line to the end of the Gemfile and run bundle install

• Run rails generate bootstrap:install static as stated in the documentation

• Place the DB account details (username and password) to the "default" section of database.yml file and run rake db:create

• Run rails g scaffold Purchase company_name:text product_name:text contact_person:text email:text comment:text

• Run rake db:migrate

• Run rails g bootstrap:themed Purchases

Every command returns 0, so I restarted a web-server and go to the 127.0.0.1:3000/purchases, but it looks like it doesn't use twitter bootstrap at all:

purchases/index.html.erb

<h1>Listing purchases</h1>

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Company name</th>
      <th>Product name</th>
      <th>Contact person</th>
      <th>Email</th>
      <th>Comment</th>
      <th colspan="3"></th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <% @purchases.each do |purchase| %>
      <tr>
        <td><%= purchase.company_name %></td>
        <td><%= purchase.product_name %></td>
        <td><%= purchase.contact_person %></td>
        <td><%= purchase.email %></td>
        <td><%= purchase.comment %></td>
        <td><%= link_to 'Show', purchase %></td>
        <td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_purchase_path(purchase) %></td>
        <td><%= link_to 'Destroy', purchase, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></td>
      </tr>
    <% end %>
  </tbody>
</table>

<br>

<%= link_to 'New Purchase', new_purchase_path %>

Why? What am I doing wrong? How can I fix it?

I'm using Ruby on Rails 4.1.4 btw.

Try these:

1. Make sure the <table> tag has the class(es) required by Bootstrap. For example: <table class="table table-striped">.

2. Also, the scaffold-generated styles in app/assets/stylesheets/scaffolds.scss might be interfering. Remove them and see what happens.

And as @anusha said in a comment, remember to use the singular form when you run the generator. For example: rails g bootstrap:themed Purchase, not Purchases.
