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 Envek/monban@581698f.

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
