Project creation failed error

[ChrisE]

I downloaded and installed the trial version of Ruby In Steel Developer 2008 1.4 but whenever I try to create a Rails project I get an error:

Project creation failed
MakeRailsFiles failed: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.  See Output (General) pane for more information.

The Output pane doesn't give me any additional information.  This happens after I click 'Proceed' in the 'Creation and Import Data' dialog.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the error but my project directory is D:\Design\Software\Projects\Rails.

Thanks.

I think it's a straight Rails generator error.

The command that is being run is:

rails --force --database=mysql D:\Design\Software\Projects\Rails

Try this from the command line and see if that produces some more information.

There is a minor bug in that the error isn't currently reported to the Output window (this is due to be fixed in 1.5)

Thanks, Dermot.  It was a bug in my rails.bat file in "c:/program files/ruby/bin"

My rails.bat looked like this:
@ECHO OFF
IF NOT "%~f0" == "~f0" GOTO :WinNT
@"ruby.exe"" "C:/Program Files/Ruby/bin/rails" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
GOTO :EOF
:WinNT
@"ruby.exe"" "%~dpn0" %*

I just removed the extra double quote after "ruby.exe".
