This page describes how to import an existing Rails project into RadRails.
Introduction
If you have created a Ruby on Rails project in another development environment, you can still import that project into RadRails.
Instructions
To import an existing project into RadRails:
- Follow the instructions in Starting a new RadRails project to create an empty new RadRails project. Make sure that you uncheck the Generate Rails application skeleton in the New Rails Project wizard when you create your project.
- After your project appears in the Rails Navigator, right-click the project and select Import... from the context menu to open the Import wizard.
- On the Import wizard, expand General > File System, and click the Next button.
- Browse to the folder that contains the project that you want to import.
- Check the box next to all of the files and resources that you want to import for your project.
- Click the Finish button.
RadRails imports all of the resources that you specified into your project.
