Hello, when following along with the very first video of this sequence (Integration Tests), I get the following errors when the video does not have errors:

1) Error: test_that_/login_route_opens_the_login_pages(CustomRoutesTest): ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: SQLite3::SQLException: table users has no column named password: INSERT INTO "users" ("first_name", "last_name", "email", "profi le_name", "password", "password_confirmation", "created_at", "updated_at", "id") VALUES ('Jenny', 'Lur', 'jennylu302@yahoo.com.tw', 'Lur', 'xxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxxx', '2013-05-03 02:43:54', '2013-05-03 02:43:54', 162985565)

The errors indicate that the problem has to do with the database. Rails could not find the columns named "password". To update your database, run these commands in the terminal:

rake db:migrate

followed by

rake db:test:prepare

This will check that your database is up to date and run the migrations if necessary, it will also rebuild the test database which is seperate from the development and production database.
