onboarding_controller.rb:8:in `index'

Local development worked fine - tried to deploy to production and it crashes with this exception:

onboarding_controller.rb in index at line 8

onboarding_controller.rb:8:in `index'

  def index
    @user = User.first
    @user.name = ""
    @user.email = ""
    @user.password = ""
  end

Seems to be the helpy_onboarding gem. I can't seem to find this issue reported anywhere and wondering if I am missing something obvious here.

Did some digging - the seed file didn't run on deploy.

Yep I was gonna suggest that as a likely cause, glad you got it running!

[aximuseng]

For future reference or anyone else down the road - should that seed not have run automatically? I had no issues on my local dev version before I pushed it.

[scott]

if you run bundle exec rake db:setup it should run the seed. Not sure how you deployed?

[aximuseng]

I need to confirm - I swear I didn't run that locally and it just worked. Either way all good 👍
