However, in the "person" case, both versions of app/views/people/index.html.erb have @people.each, but in app/ controllers/people_controller.rb the rails 2 version has @person = person.all but the rails 3 version has @people = person.all. Both versions have "people" elsewhere in the file - so it's not just a change in how it pluralizes, it's a change in where it uses the plural or not.
NOTE: I think my original message had it backwards. (It's confusing trying to keep two apps strait using different versions of rails...) The rails 2 scaffold causes a problem with the mismatch, the rails 3 version is consistent, so it works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
