Generating the Devise Views user.rb causing console problem

C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-3.2.13/lib/ac tive_support/dependencies.rb:469:in `load': C:/Projects/treebook/app/models/user .rb:10: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting keyword_end (SyntaxError) ----------------:first_name, :last_name, :profile_name ^

Is what I'm looking at. I more or less understand where the problem is but I don't see how what I put into my user.rb is any different than the lesson.

Hey Kris, can you paste your user.rb file here?

class User < ActiveRecord::Base # Include default devise modules. Others available are: # :token_authenticatable, :confirmable, # :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

It was the spacing between what was already there and what I needed to add. I put :first_name, :last_name, :profile_name on the same line as :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me and now the console loads.

I guess the problem was caused by the lack of a comma between :remember_me & :first_name,
