Background

Learning Drupal 8 using the book Mastering Drupal 8: An advanced guide to building and maintaining Drupal websites by Chaz Chumley and William Hurley. Currently on page 213: Creating Comments, which illustrates how to generate dummy comments via the Terminal.

Issue

  • OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1
  • PHP version: 7.1.25-1
  • MySQL version: 5.7.24

Repeatable

Always.

Actual Behaviors

After generating dummy comments via the Terminal drupal console:

Steps Taken

  1. In Terminal window, typed drupal create:comments with options 2, 5, 5, and 1. Completed successfully.
  2. In Firefox, went to http://localhost/drupal8/web. Logged in as admin. Completed successfully.
  3. Clicked Manage > Content. Greeted with the following red error message: 
             Notice: Undefined index: comment in Drupal\comment\Controller\CommentController->commentPermalink() (line 122 of core/modules/comment/src/Controller/CommentController.php).

  4. Clicked Comments tab. Mixed results: I see the same red error message above, but followed by a successful listing of the 5 comments I generated via the Terminal command.
  5. Clicked any of the comment titles to open the pertinent comment record. Greeted with the following error message:

    @mchameddie, thanks for reporting this problem. I has taken some time for someone to reply.

    I see from the summary that in step 1, drupal create:comments was used and then you were getting errors related to comments. It is possible that the drupal command did not create the comment correctly. If that is the case, since that command is not part of Drupal core, it is not something we can fix here.

    If the problem can be reproduced on a supported version of Drupal, without using drupal console, provide complete steps to reproduce the issue → (starting from "Install Drupal core"). Thanks.

    I don't see a bug here, changing to a support request
