Missing Attributes error, Rails Treebook project

Hey all! I'm new to Rails and have been following every step of the Rails Treebook classes on here...every time I click on "add friend", I get this error in the localhost browser: can't write unknown attribute `friend_id', and it says the error is in user_friendships_controller.rb...I have my code looking exactly the same as in the videos, I've triple checked...here is more code that the error spits out from that controller...any help, I would greatly appreciate it!

  @friend = User.where(profile_name: params[:friend_id]).first

raise ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound if @friend.nil?

@user_friendship = current_user.user_friendships.new(friend: @friend)

else

 flash[:error] = "Friend required"

 end

Jason Seifer et all, let me know if you need to see more code! I've been googling this for hours and can't seem to figure it out...

Hey Adam Carter can you paste a link to your project code? We need just a bit more information to troubleshoot. Thanks!
