rails g active_admin:install ERROR

Question

I have problem with ActiveAdmin. I've added the gem 'activeadmin' to my Gemfile and ran

$ bundle install

which worked. But when I try to:

$ rails g active_admin:install

I get:

/home/dominika/active_admin/config/application.rb:10:in `<module:ActiveAdmin>': superclass mismatch for class Application (TypeError)

Maybe it's really stupid, but I really don't know how to fix it. Please, help...

Answer 1

This happens because your application is called active_admin . Rename it, and everything will work.

To rename the app view this thread to get the instructions.

Answer 2

Overall it sounds like you are pretty much doing things correctly.

I've added the gem 'active_admin'

From the documentation it's:

# Gemfile

gem 'activeadmin' 

Does that help?
