Issue with bridgetown-v1.1.0 and view_component-v2.75.0 - [Bridgetown] Exception raised: TypeError [Bridgetown] no implicit conversion of nil into String

[thanosbellos]

Hi I am following the quick installation guide, on a fresh project.

I added the example's view component and nothing else. But when I try to start server I encounter the following error:

BUNDLED WITH
   2.3.24

As an experiment I also downloaded lookbook docs, that are build with bridgetown too.

When I upgraded the core gem to v1.1.0 I had the same issue. Their repo is still using bridgetown-v1.0.0.

Thanks in advance and I am glad to help with any more information you may need.

As a follow up, it seems to be an issue with the latest version of view_component(2.75.0)

Locking it manually to version 2.74.1, did the trick and everything worked as expected.

[andrewmcodes]

@thanosbellos the issue is ViewComponent::Base.config.view_component_path is nil and the gem probably needs to set that.

To fix, set the view_component_path, for instance:

ViewComponent::Base.config.view_component_path = "src/_components"

class Base < ViewComponent::Base
   # etc.
end

[ZilvinasKucinskas]

v2.82.0 reverted Avoid loading ActionView::Base during initialization (introduced with v2.75.0) that seemed to be causing the issue.

@jaredcwhite I think we can close this issue.

[jclusso]

I have this issue on VC 3.5.0 but @andrewmcodes's fix above works. Is this something we can fix in the code or is this something that should be documented?
