Need help with Generating the Devise Views.

So, i have been following a long with the videos and everything that Jason was doing. All was going great until i had to add first, last and profile name. Now every time i try and refresh and go to user/sign_up i get this error:

NoMethodError in Devise/registrations#new

Showing C:/Sites/projects/treebook/app/views/devise/registrations/new.html.erb where line #6 raised:

undefined method `first_name' for #<User:0x4391ac0> Extracted source (around line #6):

3: <%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %> 4: <%= devise_error_messages! %> 5: <div><%= f.label :first_name %><br /> 6: <%= f.text_field :first_name %></div> 7: 8: <div><%= f.label :last_name %><br /> 9: <%= f.text_field :last_name %></div> Rails.root: C:/Sites/projects/treebook

I have tried everything i could to fix it. I have double and triple check that everything was spelled right and match up exactly with what Jason had on the screen. i have even looked on the forum for answer from people with the same problem and nothing works. I don't know what i am over looking can some on please help me.

Thank you.

Click the "Markdown Cheatsheet" link right under the text box (see here). You'll see options for formatting your forums posts/comments/replies. Let me know if that's not clear.

it sounds like your database is missing the first_name, last_name, and profile_name fields so rails doesnt recognize the symbols. when you generate the devise views, it should also generate a migration file called devise create or something along those lines in the db/migrate directory. Check and make sure that you added the first_name, last_name and profile names to the database in that migration file, and then run 

$ rake db:migrate

Does it give you an error at this point when you try and migrate?
