"wrong constant name" error when generating a new model

Question

I'm trying to create a new model like this:

rails generate model Tags name:string

When I run this, I get the following error:

base.rb:266:in `const_defined?': wrong constant name tags (NameError)

Any thoughts? I tried changing Tags to ReportTags and it still gave me the same error.

Answer 1

Model names are singular - try

rails generate model Tag name:string
