undefined method `full_name' for nil:NilClass

I'm stuck at the 'Testing the whole app' > 'Before Filters' video ... I can't get rid of this error when running the ruby -Itest test/functional/statuses_controller_test.rb

1) Error: test_should_get_index(StatusesControllerTest): ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method `full_name' for nil:NilClass

3) Error: test_should_show_status(StatusesControllerTest): ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method `full_name' for nil:NilClass

For others I fixed my issue by running rake db:reset then rake db:migrate. you may have to put bundle exec in front of those commands.

Can you post your full_name method? Maybe a link to a gist of the model?

here is my user model

class User < ActiveRecord::Base # Include default devise modules. Others available are: # :token_authenticatable, :confirmable, # :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

# Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model 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 correctly." }

# attr_accessible :title, :body

has_many :statuses

def full_name first_name + " " + last_name end

def gravatar_url stripped_email = email.strip downcase_email = stripped_email.downcase hash = Digest::MD5.hexdigest(downcase_email)

"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/#{hash}"

end

end

Dude thanks i fix it, it was a trouble with the db, but thank for your help!
