NoMethodError in Comfy::Admin::Cms::Layouts#new

After installing Sofa, when I try to setup a new demo site I'm getting this error:

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.

[zeitchef]

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

[GBH]

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.

[GBH]

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!
