NoMethodError in Comfy::Admin::Cms::Layouts#new about comfy-demo

[GBH]

Do you mind tell me the steps you took to arrive at this error? I'm a bit confused about "installing Sofa and setting up demo site". This repo already has everything setup so it's just a matter of:

• git clone this_repo
• bundle install
• rails s

Error you're getting looks like missing routing helper or active_link_to missing. That should not happen.

Sorry, that wasn't clear. I started a fresh Rails installation beginning with Step 1 (I assumed this was a guided to setting up my own demo application, as implied in the opening paragraph).

[GBH]

That's right. So one thing I can think of is something going on in your routes.rb file. Mind posting what's in there?

[zeitchef]

Sure, thing.

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  comfy_route :cms_admin, path: "/admin"
  # Ensure that this route is defined last
  comfy_route :cms, path: "/"
  # For details on the DSL available within this file, see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html
end

Seems like you're missing blog routes. Should look something like this: https://github.com/comfy/comfy-demo/blob/master/config/routes.rb

[GBH]

Did that resolve your issue? Also I'm curious why blog routes didn't make it in. Blog generator should've put them in there,

[zeitchef]

This corrected the issue for me. However, after adding the routes I could not name my site "Demo" (it complained that the hostname and identifier were already taken, which of course they could not have been).

I'm just a junior developer, so I won't presume to know here, but I noticed that Rails is automatically running rails active_storage:install during the initial rails new process. I believe this is also standard behavior for Rails 5.2. So to install Sofa, I needed to run the command again which perhaps the generator did not like?

Thanks again for all your effort on this project! It's my first experiments with a Rails CMS and I like it much better than the others I've found. Would you also consider PR's for the directions in the README? I'm a native English speaker and could make some very small suggestions that might help it read a little more naturally.

That's odd about hostname and identifier. That's only possible if there's already something in the database. Didn't know that active storage generator is being run during rails new. Maybe it's a recent change. Will keep an eye for it. It really doesn't affect anything though.

If you have suggestions in mind, feel free to submit PRs!
