Is scaffold no longer valid in the Controller definition?

Question

class AdminController < ApplicationController

  scaffold :album

end

In a Rails 1.1.6 tutorial I was instructed to put the code "scaffold :album" inside my admin controller. This is a music application containing a model called "Album".

This generated an error saying that scaffold is not a valid method.

Is this a deprecated/obsolete syntax in the more recent versions of Rails?

I was expecting this to generate all of the appropriate generic CRUD scaffolding for my Album Model.

Answer 1

The scaffold method was deprecated in Rails 2. See Why did Ruby on Rails deprecate the scaffold method
