I'm having trouble initializing a new Rails application under Desktop/rails_projects. According to another post, I have to empty the affected directory, which prevents me from creating a new project. The post said I'll find .bundle folder if I look inside with ls -a.
However, the my problems is that I have created rails_projects just before creating a new Rails application, which means there's nothing there. Also, I've tried created another folder under Desktop/aNewFolder and same thing happens. Maybe there's a problem with Desktop itself? I'm not sure. I did ls -a on Desktop but I couldn't find .bundle folder. Also, I can't just erase everything in my desktop. That's absurd.
This is what I've got when I tried to do $rails new first_app inside Desktop/rails_projects:
Can't initialize a new Rails application within the directory of another, please change to a non-Rails directory first.
Type 'rails' for help.
And received this when I typed rails:
The most common rails commands are:
generate Generate new code (short-cut alias: "g")
console Start the Rails console (short-cut alias: "c")
server Start the Rails server (short-cut alias: "s")
dbconsole Start a console for the database specified in config/database.yml
(short-cut alias: "db")
new Create a new Rails application. "rails new my_app" creates a
new application called MyApp in "./my_app"
In addition to those, there are:
application Generate the Rails application code
destroy Undo code generated with "generate" (short-cut alias: "d")
benchmarker See how fast a piece of code runs
profiler Get profile information from a piece of code
plugin Install a plugin
runner Run a piece of code in the application environment (short-cut alias: "r")
All commands can be run with -h (or --help) for more information.
Thank you so much for your help!!!
