Codecast: Contributing to Rails 01 - Identifying an issue you can fix
Channel: Stateless Code
Date: 2020-12-04

This is the first video in a series on contributing to Rails. In this video, Mike demonstrates an issue in Rails that can be fixed and identifies the offending portion of code in the Rails codebase that needs to be fixed. In this case, the problem is a Rails test generator that does not have proper agreement for scaffolds that start with a vowel sound.

This video covers:
00:00:10 Introduction
00:00:34 Create new Rails app to demonstrate the issue that we're going to fix
00:02:04 Generate a scaffold for a resource named Author
00:02:36 Open project in Visual Studio Code and navigate to the offending system test
00:03:54 Discussion of possible solution alternatives
00:05:00 Demonstration of normal Rails ActiveSupport inflection and where it lives in the Rails GitHub repository
00:08:07 Location of the generator we want to fix
00:09:14 Plan for the next video
