Liquid error: can't convert nil into String

[jnns]

When composing a new draft there are liquid errors in the URL slug field, the title field, the body field and in the follwowing javascrip section:

<script>
    var Serif = {
        "variables": {
                "imageUploadPattern": "/images/:timestamp_:name",
                "currentSlug": Liquid error: can't convert nil into String
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
            }
        };
</script>

It looks more like I'm missing a dependency like a coding error, but as I'm not fluent in Ruby at all I have no idea where to look.

Thanks for reporting this. Not sure how this made its way into a release. It'll be fixed in a few hours and I'll push a new release so you can update.

If you're curious, this is a bug introduced by 92a8c17 when a Serif::Draft has no path.

By the way, until then, you should be able to insert your own title and URL slug and hit save on the draft as usual. Everything else should be fine, you just can't add any images until after you've saved the draft and re-load it to edit it.

This is fixed by #58. A new release will come shortly, and you can gem update serif. Thanks again for reporting!

@jnns as announced, 0.5.2 has been pushed, so you should be able to update. Apologies for the delay!

No worries. I ran the update and it works beautifully now. Thank you very much!
