NoMethodError in PasswordResetsController

Question

Hartl tutorial Chapter 10.2.3

When I attempt to submit existing user email to generate the password reset token, it breaks on the 2nd update_attribute call in the User model:

The reset_sent_at column is present in the database, and I can write to it no problem from the console:

usr = User.find_by(name: 'locutius’)

usr.update_attribute(:reset_sent_at, Time.zone.now)

usr.reset_sent_at

but something about the context via the server is causing it to fall over. Any debug clues greatly appreciated.

You don't try to call update_attribute but udpate_attribute.

You just have a simple misspelling in there.

d’oh! must’ve looked at that 20 times... thanks for the catch -- maybe it’s time for a proper rails IDE instead of vim – jjt Dec 06 '15 at 00:37
