NoMethodError in Statuses#new

Were you able to solve this issue? I got the same one, looks like it was due to changes to some of the gems.

It looks like your db/schema.rb doesn't have a name column on the statuses table. That's because this migration removed it.

If that migration mistakenly removed the name column, you should create a new migration to add it back. It's best practice not to edit it:

Don't change a migration after it has been merged into master if the desired change can be solved with another migration.

If you don't want statuses to have a name, you can safely delete the name-related parts of the view that is throwing the error:

  <div class="field">
       <%= f.label :name %><br />
       <%= f.text_field :name %>
     </div>
