Monica: Country List empty and required

[gvaldezsan]

When trying to edit a contacts detail, the Country select is empty and is required. No errors in chrome's console.

I believe the country list is empty because you forgot to run php artisan db:seed as describe in the readme (or you ran it and it failed).
Check the content of the countries table (select count(*) from countries;). If it's empty, then this is a setup issue not a bug in the edit contact page.

And if you don´t want your Database seeded with the dummy data, then edit your APP_ENV in the .env file before seeding:
APP_ENV=production

It's a documentation error then:

Optional step:

This step is to populate the instance with fake data, so you can test with real data instead of lorem ipsum.

php artisan db:seed to load all seeds.

The step is explained as optional and "so you can test with real data instead of lorem ipsum" doesn't seem relevant if you'd like to run it in production.

I still think we have a bug since the field is marked as optional but has the "required" html5 tag.

@beajeanm I didnt forget but documentation lists that as an optional step for demo data, and tbh fuctionality like that shouldn't be demo data.
@erdmenchen Thanks a lot.
@rreuvekamp I completely agree, that was my train of though for not running them.
