Generate the rails framwork with:
[code]
railsapp base connectteach
[/code]
where railsapp is the shell function:
[code]
function railsapp {
template=$1
appname=$2
shift 2
rails $appname -m http://github.com/soulflyer/templates/raw/master/$template.rb $@
}
[/code]
base.rb contains:
[ruby]
run “echo TODO > README”
run “rm public/index.html”
generate :app_layout

# Install the test tools for the test environment only
file “/tmp/test.rb”, <<-END config.gem "rspec", :lib => false
config.gem “rspec-rails”, :lib => false
config.gem “webrat”
config.gem “cucumber”
config.gem “thoughtbot-factory_girl”, :lib => “factory_girl”, :source => “http://gems.github.com/”
END
run “cat tmp/test.rb >> config/environments/test.rb”
run “rm tmp/test.rb”
# rake “gems:install”, :env => ‘test’, :sudo => true
generate :cucumber

# Add authentication stuff
gem ‘thoughtbot-clearance’,
:lib => ‘clearance’,
:source => ‘http://gems.github.com’

# rake “gems:install”, :sudo => true
rake “gems:unpack”
generate :clearance

# Add the host details to the config files for clearance
# All the backslashes are there to get the new lines into the text echoed into the config files
# This is to avoid creating a separate file and cating it on to the end as is done for the gem config
# stuff above
host = “localhost:3000”
run “echo \\ >> config/environments/test.rb”
run “echo HOST=\\\”#{host}\\\” >> config/environments/test.rb”
run “echo \\ >> config/environments/development.rb”
run “echo HOST=\\\”#{host}\\\” >> config/environments/development.rb”
run “echo \\ >> config/environment.rb”
run “echo DO_NOT_REPLY=\\\”donotreply@example.com\\\” >> config/environment.rb”

# more clearance setup
route “map.root :controller => ‘pages’, :id => ‘1’”

# Generate static pages stuff
generate :rspec_scaffold, “page name:string permalink:string content:text”
gem ‘RedCloth’, :source => “http://code.whytheluckystiff.net”
run “rm app/views/layouts/pages.html.erb”

rake “db:migrate”
[/ruby]

Then run:
[code]
script/generate rspec_controller tutors
[/code]
and add methods index and show to it, plus add this to routes.rb:
[ruby]
map.resources :tutors
[/ruby]
