There are problems with your administrator.php config: validation.required ( After installation )

[cmarfil]

Hello,

After installation i get:

There are problems with your administrator.php config: validation.required

Assets and config are published.

I have the directories settings created:

I tried to comment the lines 104 - 107 in: /vendor/frozennode/administrator/src/Frozennode/Administrator/Config/Factory.php

And I get another error:

Administrator: You must provide a valid menu item in the home_page option of your config

My config file "app/config/packages/frozennode/administrator/administrator.php":

<?php

return array(

    /**
     * Package URI

Thanks.

Edited: With lines 104 - 107 disableds in: /vendor/frozennode/administrator/src/Frozennode/Administrator/Config/Factory.php And with model entities configured all is working fine. (apparently)

Well, _"You must provide a valid menu item in the homepage option of your config" means you must provide a valid menu item in the home_page option of your config, which you actually haven't provided in your config around line 87. Also you haven't added any item to the menu array which is also required and could be the reason of the first error message.

I suggest you to read at least the "Getting Started" section in the documentation (especially the configuration page)

You can also take a look at a sample configuration in the examples folder.

Yes, you're right, the problem is that the first error is not descriptive and page setup documentation does not specify that you must have configured a model. Thank You.

Yes, the first error message is definitely strange. I think there were some modifications lately, affecting the error messages (the custom error messages) and maybe something went wrong. I will take a look into this if I have some time, thank you for reporting!
