5,507 PointsHello,
I am receiving the same error.
NoMethodError in Statuses#new
undefined method `name' for #<Status:0x007f1450b5fc50>
I followed the tutorial until Build a Simple Ruby on Rails Application > Creating an Authentication System > Migrating Statuses. After launching my rails server and trying to post a new status I receive the error message above.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
