App breaks when comment is nil about enki HOT 3 CLOSED

I can't reproduce this. Are you able to provide more information on exactly what steps got you to this issue?

from enki.

1. I cloned the repo to my pc (git clone https://github.com/xaviershay/enki.git)
2. run bundle install
3. run rake db:migrate
4. run rails server
5. I went to the admin and added my first post. after creating the post, when I tried to load the home page, I get the following error

So I take it that you also copied database.example.yml to database.yml to get as far as you have. And that you're using SQLite as per the default database.yml? And I assume you're setting your post as published, otherwise the link_to_post_comments method wouldn't be getting called.

Obviously you're getting an error for some reason but I cannot reproduce it, following your steps as laid out. I am currently using Ruby 2.0.0-p598 and bundle install-ing into an RVM gemset, not that I would think this should make any difference.

The link_to_post_comments method is pretty straight forward:

  def link_to_post_comments(post)
    link_text = pluralize(post.approved_comments.size, "comment")
    if post.published?
      link_to(link_text, post_path(post, :anchor => 'comments'))
    else
      # Posts would have to be published to be on the public index,
      # the only place where a fragment won't work.
      link_to(link_text, '#comments')
    end
  end

I'm not even sure where the call to a name method is coming into it. Neither Post nor Comment models even have a name attribute. The Tags model has a name attribute though.

You could take a look in your database and make sure things look as they should. Or try some good old fashioned debugging... I'd be attempting to figure out where/how/why this name method is apparently being called, if I were you.
