I'm sure this is astonishingly straightforward, and I'm just inexperienced with Rails 3, but I can't figure out how to make it work.
I'm trying to install the paper_trail plugin into my Rails 3 app; but the instructions seem designed for Rails 2. I'm running under Windows, and don't have git available.
I've tried putting gem 'paper_trail'
into my Gemfile and running bundle install
, which picked up the gem correctly; but rails generate paper_trail
(which I assume is the new form of script/generate paper_trail
fails with Could not find generator paper_trail.
Can anyone give me some step-by-step instructions to get this working?
I've managed to make this work by simply downloading the zipped code from github, unpacking it into vendor/plugins, installing the gem (through Gemfile and bundle install), and then copy-pasting the migration code in paper_trail's generator into a blank migration of the same name.
