Twitter bootstrap rails - cannot find generator

Question

I added the twitter-bootstrap-rails gem and did bundle install. Then I went to do:

rails g bootstrap:install

This doesn't seem to work and says it cannot find the generator.

Could not find generator bootstrap:install.

I'm on rails 3.1. Why isn't this working?

EDIT: Hey not sure if you wanted the entire gemfile, but here it is:

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.1.0'
gem 'sorcery'
gem 'heroku'
gem 'will_paginate'
gem "pg", :group => :production
gem 'sqlite3'
gem 'acts_as_api'
gem 'taps'
gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails'


# Bundle edge Rails instead:
# gem 'rails',     :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'

# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails', "  ~> 3.1.0"
  gem 'coffee-rails', "~> 3.1.0"
  gem 'uglifier'
end

gem 'jquery-rails'

# Use unicorn as the web server
# gem 'unicorn'

# Deploy with Capistrano
# gem 'capistrano'

group :development do
  # To use debugger
  gem 'ruby-debug19', :require => 'ruby-debug'
end

group :test do
  # Pretty printed test output
  gem 'turn', :require => false
end

and gem list:

Answer 1

I had the same problem.

Try running rails g bootstrap:install with your rails server off. That seems to have done the trick for me.

Answer 2

Looking at your gem file, I think you need to specify a version of the bootstrap gem, specifically v1.3.0 or before: https://rubygems.org/gems/twitter-bootstrap-rails/versions/1.3.0

Check the dependencies for that vs. the current version, 1.4.1. Alternately, upgrade to rails 3.1.1.
