SimpleForm/Suspenders fails to install due to lack of template engine

[huwd]

Hey folks,

I've been running into an error, it appears to be with simple_form, but currently breaks the suspenders install process. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

System

~ rbenv local
2.4.0
~ suspenders -v
1.44.0
~ lsb_release -r
Release:	16.10

Suspenders Command

suspenders zi --api initially and had experienced the failure.
Later attempted to re-run with suspenders zi -s --api giving the following log of bundle here.

Error

Error lists

Could not find "_form.html." in any of your source paths. Your current source paths are: 
/home/user/Documents/currentProjects/zi/lib/templates/simple_form/install
/home/user/.rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/simple_form-3.4.0/lib/generators/simple_form/templates

The simple form generator requires a template engine which does not appear to being passed around here...

Suspenders or Simple Form

Running bundle exec rails generate simple_form:install also fails but rails generate simple_form:install -e erb succeeds!

However then trying to run suspenders zi -s --api doesn't seem to skip that step and so the issue repeats.

Thinking about this, I've overcomplicated. Why would simpleform try to install if i use --api?
It's only a front-end use right?

[mike-burns]

Yup.

How about introducing a suspenders:api generator that only runs the generators we'd want for an API app, and then conditionally running specific generators based on whether --api is passed?

Closed by #1135. We now raise if new suspenders:install:web generator is run in the context and an API only application.
