'rails generate' commands hang when trying to create a model

Question

I\'m new to rails and decided this morning to dump my whole database design/model and start over. And being a noob, I\'m sure did it incorrectly.

I removed all the files

Answer 1

I just had to kill spring.

Before

$ rails generate yaddi-yaddi-yadda
hang...
hang...
hang..
^C

My fix:

$ ps -u {user} | grep rails
123 123456 spring app ...

Find the pid, then kill spring.

$ rails generate yaddi-yaddi-yadda
# success.
