Forum: Instiki – Topic: Bugs

I just created a fresh install of instiki (0.19.3) on mac osx snow leopard. Ruby 1.9.3 (ruby 1.9.3p6 (2011-12-13 revision 34018) x86_64-darwin10.8.0).

After running through the usual steps to download dependencies, tried kicking off ./instiki. Consistently got the following error: ...instiki/instiki-0.19.3/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:186:in require’: cannot load such file – admin_helper (LoadError) from …instiki/instiki-0.19.3/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:186:in require' from ...instiki/instiki-0.19.3/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:293:in require_or_load’ from …instiki/instiki-0.19.3/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:252:in depend_on' from ...instiki/instiki-0.19.3/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:163:in require_dependency’ from …instiki/instiki-0.19.3/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/helpers.rb:198:in default_helper_module!'

After banging my head for several hours and inserting debug statements, I figured that it is looking for the file ‘admin_helper’ which does not exist in any folder. I created a dummy file /instiki-0.19.3/app/helpers/admin_helper.rb with an empty modue AdminHelper. Similarly, created another file /instiki-0.19.3/app/helpers/file_helper.rb

Now instiki starts up fine, and I am able to create a few pages.

What could be going wrong?
