help_request.sh

# there is a 'generator' to run which will create all of our boilerplate
# code for the 'help request' 

./script/generate cc_rspec_haml_scaffold  HelpRequest email:string login:string name:string class_name:string activity:string no_students:int computer_type:string os:string browser:string ip_address:string problem_type:string all_computers:bool pre_loaded:bool more_info:text logfile:text referrer:text

# clearer to view fields if its broken up:

# Migration file:
# db/migrate/20110923004732_create_help_requests.rb

# Tests:

# It also adds a line to the top of the routes file:
# config/routes.rb

# Then I remove some unused files:
rm spec/integration/help_requests_spec.rb
rm spec/fixtures/help_requests.yml

# then run the database migration which was
# bundle exec rake db:migrate will run all 'pending' migrations
# including newly generated db/migrate/20110923004732_create_help_requests.rb
bundle exec rake db:migrate
