Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Instructions from https://gobuffalo.io/en/docs/getting-started/installation

1. $ wget https://github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/releases/download/v0.14.5/buffalo_0.14.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
2. $ tar -xvzf buffalo_0.14.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
3. $ mv buffalo /usr/local/bin/buffalo
4. cd /root/go/src/tmp/
5. buffalo new webapp --skip-pop

Before anyone cringes at root, this is a Kali box and I was trying to knock together a quick web app framework for something.

我遇到了相同的问题，就在刚刚。

[mister-turtle]

It appears this commit gobuffalo/release@a8e775c#diff-0ab6db3e481a4816176661f1b7c5767c removed "MainFile" and "Root" from the Options struct, which are still being used by buffalo-plugins/genny/plugin.go
Edit: Should this be moved to gobuffalo/release, or gobuffalo/buffalo-plugins instead?

[jay13jay]

I am having this issue too and can provide additional data if required.

[jay13jay]

Buffalo plugins Readme is stating that the plugins have been moved into the main package, I haven't looked at the actual code yet, but if that's the case, shouldn't buffalo new stop running go get on the plugins package?

[markbates]

Yes, a PR would be very welcome.
