error

Background: i'm using InstantRails 2.0

I'm wanted to add a new column to an existing table using the following syntax:

ruby script/generate migration add_fieldname_to_tablename fieldname:string

So I tried

ruby script/generate migration add_invites_to_user invites:integer ruby script/generate migration add_invites_to_users invites:integer

And to test it further

ruby script/generate migration AddInvites ruby script/generate migration AddInvites invites:integer

All of the above give me

builder.rb:175 in 'build': Illegal route: the :controller must be specified! (ArgumentError)
