Generate controller error

[klippas-rob]

I'm new to Rails so this is likely my mistake…

rails g controller cards

produces:

      create  app/controllers/cards_controller.rb
       error  phlex [not found]
      invoke  test_unit
      create    test/controllers/cards_controller_test.rb
      invoke  helper
      create    app/helpers/cards_helper.rb
      invoke    test_unit

Prior to this I installed phlex with:

bin/rails phlex:install

and in my Gemfile I have:

gem "phlex", "~> 0.3.1"

Hey @klippas-rob, thanks for opening the issue. Super weird that it’s interfering with the controller generator. I wasn't able to reproduce this locally. Which version of Ruby and Rails are you using?

[klippas-rob]

Hi Joel,

ruby 3.1.2p20
Rails 7.0.4

[klippas-rob]

Not sure if this is relevant but also using:

gem "simple_form"
gem "dry-validation"
gem "trailblazer"
gem "trailblazer-rails"
gem "reform-rails"

Thanks. I’ve opened an issue #236 because this is probably a bug that needs to be fixed in Phlex.

@klippas-rob do you think you could see if you can get this error in a fresh Rails app and send me steps you took from rails new to get there?

[klippas-rob]

It may be tomorrow, but will definitely get it to you.

Hi Joel, I found the problem. It’s my fault—my apologies for creating this hassle for you. I had this in the config/application.rb file: config.generators do |g| g.template_engine :phlex end However, I’m a little puzzled. When I remove the above code and do “rails generate controller …”, it invokes erb. Is that expected? rails generate controller Cards create app/controllers/cards_controller.rb invoke erb … Cheers, Rob

Ah, that makes sense. Yeah, Phlex is not a Rails template engine. It's a complete replacement for ActionView. I think we could find a way to hook into controller generation to have it generate Phlex views instead of ERB templates.

Thanks Joel—again, apologies for the wild goose chase.
