Hi Richard,

I suspect you are running ./script/generate qmodel ... from the root of the qtonrails-examples app. Instead try running it from the vendor/plugins/qt directory (there is another script directory there!).

Note that this will fail for out of the box because I already have included some pre-generated qmodels with the app. So delete everything under the qtonrails-examples/vendor/plugins/qt/app/qmodels directory before running the ./script/generate qmodel command again.

Regards,
Declan
