Hi there,

I'm getting this error after adding Storytime gem to my app's gemfile. Rails 5.

It seems like it conflicts with: gem "rails3-jquery-autocomplete" gem "meta-tags" gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails" gem 'activeadmin', github: 'activeadmin' gem 'inherited_resources', github: 'activeadmin/inherited_resources'

Like @testa19 reported, the problem could be in gem leather-3.5.1. I found a possible solution https://github.com/Envek/monban/commit/581698f68e277866018c0448fcb28c0f97bdbb2c.

I modified : /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/leather-3.5.1/lib/leather/action_controller_extension.rb

like the above link indicates:

• Original

  helper_method :current_tab, :current_tab?

• Modified

  if respond_to?(:helper_method)
  helper_method :current_tab, :current_tab?
  end 

and the bug disappeared.

For those who come late: I solved the problem adding this to the Gemfile:

gem 'leather', git: 'https://github.com/CultivateLabs/leather.git'

The original author of the gem merged this change, but didn't publish it yet as a gem
