Rails can't generate migration for RailsGirlsBerlin App

Question

Edit: the problem was in the routing how I named it.

The problem routing code was

get :to => redirect('attendees#index')

The fixing code was

match "/attendees", to: 'attendee#index', via:'get'

I'm going through the RailsGirls app tutorial and I added and bundled the Geocoder and Gmaps4rails to Gemfile without any problem. I run this and get the following error:

rails generate migration AddLatitudeAndLongitudeToAttendee latitude:float longitude:float

Here's the error:

First off, my I have an attendee controller and models. I saw a similar post but their problem was not having a controller. Can anybody tell me why I am getting this error message and what the problem is? I am new to programming and not sure how to read it.

Answer 1

Take a look at your routes.rb file and take a look at the controller file that the error references - check for spelling errors -- Here is a similar error message and the solution was just an error in the syntax - compare what you have to the tutorial and if you can't find the error - post the files here and get a second set of eyes on them!
