railstutorial.org, Chapter 6. unknown attribute: password

I have finished Chapter 6 of railstutorial but all my User model specs have started failing soon after I added password & password_confirmation with the following errors:

The User Model can be found here Now, I have already compared the source to original but it seems I am missing something. Don't what it is

Can anyone tell me why this error is coming?

Add:

attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation  

The tutorial will then make you save a digest in password_digest

Answer by codeneko for railstutorial.org, Chapter 6. unknown attribute: password

Just add has_secure_password into User model file if you haven't done this yet.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base   attr_accessible :email, :name, :password, :password_confirmation   has_secure_password   # ..  end  

Answer by MikeH1010 for railstutorial.org, Chapter 6. unknown attribute: password

It is producing these errors because the very first before {} block is trying to add two attributes that the User model doesn't specify - password and password_confirmation.

Because this before {} block is run before every test (that's the point), you are getting an error on every test and they're all failing. It's not that the test is failing, per se, but rather ActiveRecord doesn't know what to do with those attributes and is producing an error before each test is really even run:

ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError:  unknown attribute: password  

As codeneko's answer says, this is fixed by simply moving forward in the tutorial and putting has_secure_password in the User model file. This tells ActiveRecord to accept password and password confirmation attributes and all the tests will pass.

Unfortunately the tutorial promptly tells you to comment out has_secure_password so using diving's answer as a stand-in is probably not a bad idea until the tutorial has you uncomment that.

Answer by Han Lazarus for railstutorial.org, Chapter 6. unknown attribute: password

I just had the same problem. I was doing this on Cloud9.

I noticed that my tests weren't all running either.

Refreshing my file tree fixed both these problems.

I didn't need to put :password or :password_confirmation directly in the model (or making any coding changes at all from the tutorial.

Answer by dgreen22 for railstutorial.org, Chapter 6. unknown attribute: password

I ended up spending a few hours and couldn't find any answers. My problem ended up being on the downcase line:

before_save { self.email = email.downcase }  

He specifies that you can do this line in a different way which I did. See below.

https://www.railstutorial.org/book/_single-page#sec-creating_and_authenticating_a_user

In Listing 6.31, we could have written the assignment as self.email = self.email.downcase (where self refers to the current user), but inside the User model the self keyword is optional on the right-hand side: self.email = email.downcase

Don't do it this way. It gave me error messages every time until I reverted to before_save { self.email = email.downcase }

and removed: self.email = self.email.downcase

I'm a noob so not completely sure why this made the difference but it did.
