NoMethodError in Contacts#new - ruby-on-rails

Question

So I'm taking this course on udemy and working through the app I get stuck here! I've rewatched the vids and corrected all I saw. Can someone help me get past this error?
NoMethodError in Contacts#new
Showing /home/ubuntu/workspace/app/views/contacts/new.html.erb where line #17 raised:
undefined method `comments' for #<Contact:0x007f490a778008>
Extracted source (around line #17):
<%= form_for #contact do |f| %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :email %>
<%= f.email_field :email, class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.label :comments %>
<%= f.text_area :comments, class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<%= f.submit 'Submit', class: 'btn btn-default' %>
<% end %>

Answer 1

The rails model Contact does not seem to have the attribute comments, as per your comment this is your current model:
schema.rb:
ActiveRecord::Schema.define(version: 20150905160857) do
create_table "contacts", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "name"
t.string "email"
t.string "text"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
end
end
you would have two options:
Option 1:
instead of using comments, use text in your view:
<%= f.label :text %>
<%= f.text_area :text, class: 'form-control' %>
Option 2:
You could create a new migration to adjust your model renaming the column text or adding the column comments to your model.
Execute this from the rails app folder:
rails g migration adjustingContact
navigate to the folder /your-app-folder/db/migrate and edit the file <datestring>_adjustingContact.rb adding or renaming your comments column
execute a migration:
rake db:migrate
I hope this helps.
