Hi again,

[EDIT: First, add a space between city and the equals sign - that might help. /EDIT]

OK - I just saw that this was biller; I have the code for that.

In seeds, you create a new Account instance and call is a. That's then populated with Faker data with this line:

    a = Account.new
    a.city = Faker::Address.city

This requires the Account model to have a city property. In schema.rb this table should look like:

  create_table "accounts", force: true do |t|

    t.string   "city"

That means that Account has a city field that you can access with dot notation of the instance of Account called a in seeds.rb.

I hope that helps,

Steve.

Hi Jitendra,

This is an issue in your seeds.rb file. It doesn't recognise your use of city - can you paste in your seeds.rb code and also the model that you're trying to access the city property of?

Steve.
