Testing the Profile Name - password needs eight or more characters to pass the test

For Testing the Profile Name, I couldn't get the test at 3:20 to pass unless I put a password with 8 or more characters in the test.

test "a user can have a correctly formatted profile name" do
    user = User.new(first_name: 'Dee', last_name: 'Barizo', email: 'deebarizo2@gmail.com')
    user.password = user.password_confirmation = 'adfdadfd'

    user.profile_name = 'deebarizo_1'
    assert user.valid?
end

See where it says 'adfdadfd', the string between the single quotes should be at least 8 characters.

That's weird, tried that out but still getting the initial failure in the first half of the video where 'no message given', let me know if you see something missing, or if there is something different needed for windows. I've had this problem since the first group of tests:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :first_name, :last_name, :profile_name validates :first_name, presence: true validates :last_name, presence: true validates :profile_name, presence: true, uniqueness: true, format: { with: /^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/, message: 'Must be formatted properly.' }

has_many :statuses

def full_name first_name + " " + last_name end end

Try

/^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/

instead of

/^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$/

The code you have doesn't have the underscore.

Weird it's that way in the user.rb file, I'll try it out again and see if I get the same message.

I get the assertion failure in the video (testing profile name) but the solution doesn't seem to fix it. Hmm, I'll keep digging, see if I can find it.
