The include activation and aasm parameters of the Restful Authentication Rails Plugin are mutually exclusive
I was following the installation instructions for the Restful Authentication Rails plugin. So I executed:
script/generate authenticated user sessions --include-activation -�aasm --rspec
This resulted in:
premature end of regular expression: /A
After digging into the source code, I found that the parse! method in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/rails_generator/options.rb swallowed exceptions. Here is the original code.
def parse!(args, runtime_options = {}) self.options = {} @option_parser = OptionParser.new do |opt| opt.banner = banner add_options!(opt) add_general_options!(opt) opt.parse!(args) end return args ensure self.options = full_options(runtime_options) end The OptionParser initialization may cause exceptions which are not properly handled. I dont know what should be down but added the following code immediately before the ensure line at least will show the exception.
rescue => e puts("I caught a #{e.class.to_s} with message #{e.to_s}") Now that the exception is displayed, I saw one of my underlying problems:
I caught a OptionParser::InvalidOption with message invalid option: --include-activation
So I learned that when the --aasm parameter is used, then the --include-activation must not be specified.
