Somewhere in your code a request is being made to "something.name". This message means that .name is undefined. Did you mean username?

@Jason Tran - definitely give what @Jody Albritton suggested you try a whirl. If it doesn't work for you mind taking a screenshot of the error and shoot me an email directly at help@teamtreehouse.com and I'll see what the teaching team suggests ^^

Hello,

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.
