[Minor] Should rename template file with .erb EXT

Reported by Glenn Powell | July 30th, 2008 @ 05:07 AM

The file:

/generators/paperclip/templates/paperclip_migration.rb

should be:

/generators/paperclip/templates/paperclip_migration.rb.erb

and then simply referenced and handled in the generator.rb the same as it is now.

This just allows any IDE's (namely Eclipse) to avoid reporting errors within the template file when it encounters ERB tags ( <%= %> )

P.S. - Great plugin

Quite right. I changed this in master.

It would seem that this change causes the generator to fail with file not found. Output:

exists db/migrate create db/migrate/20080821101113_add_attachments_photo_to_content.rb No such file or directory - RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/paperclip/generators/paperclip/templates/paperclip_migration.rb

any ideas?

renaming the file back makes it work again.

Rails 2.1.0 ruby 1.8.6 p114

thanks, Alex

The generators/paperclip/paperclip_generator.rb file also needs to be changes. Not sure if this was done in the master.
```
m.migration_template "paperclip_migration.rb"
```
must be
```
m.migration_template "paperclip_migration.rb.erb"
```
