How to script/destroy a model?
I love how easy it is to run a generator from RubyMine. However, it is never easy for me to undo it if needed. I always end up going out to the console to do it.
Is there an easy way to run the script/destroy process from within RubyMine?
NOTE: I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, RubyMine 2.0.1.
I have tried Tools > "Run Rails Script..." but I can't get this to work. I read the RubyMine help and follow the instructions but it still doesn't work.
Lets assume I have a model called Post. From the command-line I would enter "ruby script/destroy model Post"
Example 1:
- Tools > "Run Rails Script..."
- Script: destroy model Post
- Result: "Unable to execute Rails script. Script "destroy model Post" not found!"
Example 2:
- Tools > "Run Rails Script..."
- Script: destroy
- Result: Run Rails Script tab appears and the "destroy" scripts help on usage appears.
Is it broken or am I missing something? Is it planned to make running reverse generators easier?
Thanks,

Hello Mark,
You were pretty close to the correct variant.
Run Rails Script dialog has 2 fields: Script and Arguments. You should fill in both of them.

Ah.... thanks for the clarification! Now it looks obvious.

This apparently does not work with Rails 3.X as script folder does not contain destroy script in project
How to execute rails commands then?
I found the way by selecting script/rails in the dialog and then typing
"destroy model bla-bla"
Why then bother with UI if it requires so much typing? May be easier just allow to start a console from command root inside IDE and allow to type
rails destroy model bla-bla
It looks more natural and will save time
