NoMethodError: undefined method `password_digest=

Rails

Hello,

I did all the steps from the Hartl tutorial but as soon as I do this :

User.create(name: “Michael H.”, email:
“[email protected]”,password:
“foobar”, password_confirmation: “foobar”)

on the rails console, I see this error message :

I have exactly what Hartl says.

He says to change my gem file to this :

source ‘https://rubygems.org’
gem ‘rails’, '4.2.0.rc1’gem ‘bcrypt’,
‘3.1.7’

And there is no mention about bcrypt-rubt

It may have been renamed since the example I looked at. I haven’t used
4.2 yet. (Okay, just checked, and it is the way you describe – same
version, even – in 4.1. Sorry for the noise.)

Also did you create the password_digest field in the database as in
listing 6.32 and run db:migrate? Check in db/schema.rb to see if that
field exists, and make sure it is spelled correctly.

Did you run bundle install after that? It does not look as if you are
using 4.2.0.rc1.

And please don’t top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread.
Thanks.

Yep, I did all the steps.

Here is my scheme.rb file :

encoding: UTF-8

This file is auto-generated from the current state of the database.

Instead

of editing this file, please use the migrations feature of Active

Record
to

incrementally modify your database, and then regenerate this schema

definition.

Note that this schema.rb definition is the authoritative source for

your

database schema. If you need to create the application database on

another

system, you should be using db:schema:load, not running all the

migrations

from scratch. The latter is a flawed and unsustainable approach (the

more
migrations

you’ll amass, the slower it’ll run and the greater likelihood for

issues).

It’s strongly recommended that you check this file into your version

control system.

ActiveRecord::Schema.define(version: 20141201145107) do

create_table “users”, force: true do |t|
t.string “name”
t.string “email”
t.datetime “created_at”, null: false
t.datetime “updated_at”, null: false
t.string “password_digest”
end

add_index “users”, [“email”], name: “index_users_on_email”, unique:
true

end

So your Gemfile is exactly the same as in the tutorial? If you think
so then please post it here, along with Gemfile.lock

Are you following
Learn Enough to Be Dangerous?
Listing 6.33 shows a different version of Rails (as I have already
pointed out). Please check that your Gemfile is /exactly/ the same as
in the tutorial, then run bundle update. There is no guarantee that
is the issue but you must rule it out first.

You are right. The version changed in the time that I follow that tutorial.
I now facing this problem :

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem “arel”:

Did you check, as I have suggested several times that your Gemfile is
exactly the same as required in the tutorial?
