Noeval scaffolding gives 500 error.

[incutonez]

I've tried scaffolding a noeval controller, and it appears it does not work. I get a 500 Error: Cannot find module './application'. I have now tried this on both my Mac and Windows machines. I'm not entirely sure what application should be as well... I tried linking to the application_controller, but then I get an error about before not existing, which I'm assuming is because I'm trying to load an eval controller in a noeval controller. Do I need to create a noeval application controller as well, or are there extra steps that I need to complete before running a noeval controller?

The steps to reproduce are simple:

compound init test
cd test
npm install
compound g c mytest --noeval
node .

Then browsing to 0.0.0.0:3000/mytests gives the Express error page.

Thanks for so detailed explanation! It really helps to reproduce your case in just 15 seconds. Lovely.

So, the problem in first command: "compound init test" should be "compound init test --noeval", in that case proper application controller will be created:

~: ) cat test/app/controllers/application.js
var Application = module.exports = function Application(init) {
    init.before(function protectFromForgeryHook(ctl) {
        ctl.protectFromForgery('882ca1302448261e2e49c3805f59c69a36299dbe');
    });
};

You can just remove your app/controllers/application_controller.js with app/controllers/application.js with code shown above.

Cheers!

Ah! What a dumb mistake. Thanks so much for the super quick reply!
