Failure in Rails Tutorial (Hartl) -section 7 - "unkown attribute: password"

Question

I've searched this issue on the forum and have used a solution on the spork site to remove "--drb" from spec options, got it to load and run and still this persistent error keeps popping up. I've also run it without spork. I've read ahead on a bunch of rspec info and as stated dug through spork info, but nothing yet. I've also ran checks for typos, indentation, encoding... and am at a loss still. Other issues, I've been able to fix, but this one's got me. Here it is below if anyone has a suggestion:

Failures:

Answer 1

are you certain you have added :password as a virtual attribute on your User model? It's easy to miss but you need to include the line

attr_accessor :password
