Where did the scripts go?
The recent
commit
removing the contents of the script
directory streamlines rails
somewhat. But there were a lot of files in that directory, this is a
quick cheat sheet on what replaces what…
The script directory used to contain
Old Script File How to use now Shortcut Command
about
rake about
server
rails server rails s
console
rails console rails c
dbconsole
rails dbconsole rails db
generate
rails generate rails g
destroy
rails destroy
performance/benchmark
rails benchmark
performance/profiler
rails profiler
plugin
rails plugin
runner
rails runner

As you can see from the above, the [server]{.underline}, [console]{.underline}, [dbconsole]{.underline} and [generate]{.underline} parameters also have shortcut aliases.
When you run the rails
command from within a Rails application
directory, the above commands work, however, if you run the rails
command from outside a Rails application directory, then the usual Rails
initialization command works in the format of
rails/railties/bin/rails APP_PATH [options]
Note with the new 3.0 rails command, the APP_NAME
has been changed to
an APP_PATH
and any options now come at the end, not before.
APP_PATH
allows you to initialise a new Rails application at some
other path name and uses the last part of the path name for your
application.
One word of warning, if you are running the Rails 3.0 Beta using the
--dev
flag from a clone of the Rails source tree, then be sure to call
script/rails <command>
otherwise the rails binary that is run will be
from your system gems, and you will end up initialising a new Rails
application inside your new Rails 3 app directory.
