Problem with the Depot program

Reading the great book agile web development with rails and I am running
into a problem around the pages 100.

Getting this error, I have tried rake tmp:sessions:clear and rake
db:sessions:clear but still get the the same problem.

Attached is the error message, when I try and add something to the cart
with the full trace and my code.

Thank you!

I’m not positive but I think I ran into the same problem and had to
restart my server to fix it.
