Using Active Record generators after Mongoid installation?

Question

I'm using MongoDB via Mongoid integration, as well as ActiveRecord in a project. I would like to generate migrations for active record, and Mongoid is the default when I run.

rails g migration

Any ideas how to specify AR as my default generator for migrations, models, etc?

Thanks!

I think I answered this (cant really answer it for another 7 hours due to rep). rails g active_record:migration seems to get it — Allyl Isocyanate, Jun 16 '11 at 13:41

Thanks. I was seeing a weird `error mongoid [not found]` and run the migration as `rails g active_record:migration ...` instead of just `rails g migration ...` worked ;) – Aldo 'xoen' Giambelluca Jan 19 '16 at 11:10

You can config to use ActiveRecord generators in your config/application.rb

config.generators do |g| 
  g.orm :active_record 
end

Great tip! Complementing it, after this config, to invoke a mongoid generator, say for a model 'whatever', one would use: rails g mongoid:model whatever – Thiago Ganzarolli Aug 21 '12 at 21:56

I tried this in my Rails 4.2.2 app but it is not working, I have the same behavior with and without this. Any idea what I should check to make it working? – ZedTuX Dec 20 '17 at 14:24
