Rails Tutorial 3 Chapter 7: User Model Rspec Test Failing - ruby-on-rails

Question

I've been following the Rails Tutorial 3 successfully until I got to chapter 7 and implemented the user model, now my rspec keeps failing.
Here's my user.rb file output
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :email
email_regex = /\A[\w+\-.]+#[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i
validates :name, :presence => true,
:length => { :maximum => 50 }
validates :email, :presence => true,
:format => { :with => email_regex },
:uniqueness => { :case_sensitive => false }
validates :password, :presence => true,
:confirmation => true,
:length => { :within => 6..40 }
before_save :encrypt_password
# Return tue if the user's password matches the submitted password.
def has_password?(submitted_password)
encrypted_password == encrypt(submitted_password)
end
def self.authenticate(email, submitted_password)
user = find_by_email(email)
return nil if user.nil?
return user if user.has_password?(submitted_password)
end
private
def encrypt_password
self.salt = make_salt unless has_password?(password)
self.encrypted_password = encrypt(password)
end
def encrypt(string)
secure_hash("#{salt}--#{string}")
end
def make_salt
secure_hash("#{Time.now.utc}--#{password}")
end
def secure_hash(string)
Digest::SHA2.hexdigest(string)
end
end
Here's my users_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
describe User do
before(:each) do
#attr = {
:name => "Example User",
:email => "user#example.com",
:password => "foobar",
:password_confirmation => "foobar"
}
end
it "should create a new instance given a valid attribute" do
User.create!(#attr)
end
it "should require a name" do
no_name_user = User.new(#attr.merge(:name => ""))
no_name_user.should_not be_valid
end
it "should require an email address" do
no_email_user = User.new(#attr.merge(:email => ""))
no_email_user.should_not be_valid
end
it "should reject names that are too long" do
long_name = "a" * 51
long_name_user = User.new(#attr.merge(:name => long_name))
long_name_user.should_not be_valid
end
it "should accept valid email addresses" do
addresses = %w[user#foo.com THE_USER#foo.bar.org first.last#foo.jp]
addresses.each do |address|
valid_email_user = User.new(#attr.merge(:email => address))
valid_email_user.should be_valid
end
end
it "should reject invalid email addresses" do
addresses = %w[user#foo,com user_at_foo.org example.user#foo.]
addresses.each do |address|
invalid_email_user = User.new(#attr.merge(:email => address))
invalid_email_user.should_not be_valid
end
end
it "should reject duplicate email addresses" do
User.create!(#attr)
user_with_duplicate_email = User.new(#attr)
user_with_duplicate_email.should_not be_valid
end
it "should reject email addresses identical up to case" do
upcased_email = #attr[:email].upcase
User.create!(#attr.merge(:email => upcased_email))
user_with_duplicate_email = User.new(#attr)
user_with_duplicate_email.should_not be_valid
end
describe "passwords" do
before(:each) do
#user = User.create!(#attr)
end
it "should have a password attribute" do
#user.should respond_to(:password)
end
it "should have a password confirmation attribute" do
#user.should respond_to(:password_confirmation)
end
end
describe "password validations" do
it "should require a password" do
User.new(#attr.merge(:password => "", :password_confirmation => "")).
should_not be_valid
end
it "should require a matching password confirmation" do
User.new(#attr.merge(:password_confirmation => "invalid")).
should_not be_valid
end
it "should reject short passwords" do
short = "a" * 5
hash = #attr.merge(:password => short, :password_confirmation => short)
User.new(hash).should_not be_valid
end
it "should reject long passwords" do
long = "a" * 41
hash = #attr.merge(:password => long, :password_confirmation => long)
User.new(hash).should_not be_valid
end
end
end

Any ideas on what's going on? I've been stuck on this for about a week now

Answer 1

You don't have accessible password or password_confirmation properties on your model. Change:
attr_accessible :name, :email
to:
attr_accessible :name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation
