Devise + OmniAuth NoMethodError UndefinedMethod Username

Question

I'm following through Railscast #235 "Devise + OmniAuth Revised" and have run into a NoMethodError for Username whenever I try to authenticate using Twitter. I'm running Rails 3.2.

Specifically, it reads:

NoMethodError in OmniauthCallbacksController#twitter
undefined method `username' for #<User:0x007fa4744561c0>

app/models/user.rb:11:in `from_omniauth'
app/controllers/omniauth_callbacks_controller.rb:3:in `all'

I'm new to Rails, so any help would be much appreciated. Here's a look at my code:

The omniauth_callbacks_controller:

    class OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController
  def all
    user = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"])
    if user.persisted?
      flash.notice = "Signed in!"
      sign_in_and_redirect user
    else
      session["devise.user_attributes"] = user.attributes
      redirect_to new_user_registration_url
    end
  end
  alias_method :twitter, :all
end

The user model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :omniauthable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :username

  validates_presence_of :username
  validates_uniqueness_of :username

  def self.from_omniauth(auth)
    where(auth.slice(:provider, :uid)).first_or_create do |user|
      user.provider = auth.provider
      user.uid = auth.uid
      user.username = auth.info.nickname
    end
  end

  def self.new_with_session(params, session)
    if session["devise.user_attributes"]
      new(session["devise.user_attributes"], without_protection: true) do |user|
        user.attributes = params
        user.valid?
      end
    else
      super
    end
  end

  def password_required?
    super && provider.blank?
  end

  def update_with_password(params, *options)
    if encrypted_password.blank?
      update_attributes(params, *options)
    else
      super
    end
  end
end
