Question

The name of my app is newsample_app . I am following along the railstutorial screencast for upgrading to rails 3.1. Here is the error message I am getting when copying files over from my old "sample_app" to "newsample_app" and trying to run rspec:

rspec spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb /Users/topica/rails_projects/newsample_app/config/routes.rb:1:in `': uninitialized constant NewSampleApp (NameError)

After seeing this, I changed my routes.rb file from my original sample_app from "SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do" to this: "NewSampleApp::Application.routes.draw do" but am still getting the error. Any ideas?

FYI complete error:

Solution

You probably want that to match the same as in config/application.rb If it really is newsample_app than it is probably NewsampleApp not NewSampleApp

OTHER TIPS

Looks like a case problem.

> "newsample_app".camelize
 => "NewsampleApp"

Note the lowercase "s".
