NoMethodError in Posts#index

I don't know what's wrong with my code I did exactly the same as in the video, Please help ^^

This is my code, it keeps saying "undefined method `body' for #<Post:0x007fe5b10529b0>"

========================================================================

<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>

<h1>Posts</h1>

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Title</th>
      <th>Body</th>
      <th colspan="3"></th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <% @posts.each do |post| %>
      <tr>
        <td><%= post.title %></td>
        <td><%= post.body %></td>
        <td><%= link_to 'Show', post %></td>
        <td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(post) %></td>
        <td><%= link_to 'Destroy', post, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></td>
      </tr>
    <% end %>
  </tbody>

Hi Sean Cedric Baart ,

Since Post is a model class, it will not have a body method unless there is a body column in the database. Did you create (and then run) a migration to add a body column to the posts table?
