Missing files on new Rails project startup

I'm trying to start a new ruby on rails application and any newly created projects results in missing folders.

I've tried this on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 (VM) with the same results. I must be missing something but I can't find it, can someone please tell me what I'm missing?

I can verify I have installed:

Ruby 2.6.3

Rails 5.2.0

Nodejs 10.18.1

When I make a new rails project with

rails new test-app

The following files are made

      create  README.md
      create  Rakefile
      create  .ruby-version
      create  config.ru
      create  .gitignore
      create  Gemfile
         run  git init from "."

I've worked with Rails before and there should be many more folders such as an app, bin, config, db, etc. The created directory is also not acting like a rails directory (probably due to the missing content), any rails commands while inside the directory just result in a rails usage statement.

If anyone could explain to me what is going on or how this happened that would be great.

Thanks

You should try installing git.

Run git --version in the command-line to check if it is installed. If that returns an error, then refer to this previous question.

You should also create a new directory, and run rails new from there.
