rake aborted!

The User Model can be found here Now, I have already compared the source to original but it seems I am missing something. Don't what it is

Can anyone tell me why this error is coming?

Just add has_secure_password into User model file if you haven't done this yet.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
 attr_accessible :email, :name, :password, :password_confirmation
 has_secure_password
 # ..
end

Add:

attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation

The tutorial will then make you save a digest in password_digest
