ActiveAdmin Comment model not working properly

ruby-on-rails ruby activeadmin

I created a blog by following the Getting Started with Rails precisely. And then I following the tutorial here to try ActiveAdmin: http://activeadmin.info/documentation.html.

It's working fine for the Post and Tag models (I logged in and created/add/edited stuff) but not the Comment model.

rails generate active_admin:resource Comment

create  app/admin/comments.rb

Then when I try to start the server I get this:

rails server=> Booting WEBrick

=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server Exiting /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activeadmin-0.2.2/lib/active_admin/namespace.rb:116:in

Your help would be appreciated.

Look like a bug (ActiveAdmin has it's own built-in Comment model/class already): https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin/issues/64

A possible workaround could be to give your Comment model a different name within in app/admin/comments.rb:

ActiveAdmin.register Comment, :as => "PostComment" do
