                     password_confirmation: password)
     end   
     users = User.all(limit: 6)
     50.times do
       content = Faker::Lorem.sentence(4..5)
       users.each { |user| user.microposts.create!(content: content) }
       content = nil 
     end             
  end


end

Answer 1

You are passing a range to Faker::Lorem.sentence in your 50.times loop.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve but that method is expecting an integer (did you mean 4 or 5?) and when it tries to add something to it within the Faker::Lorem code it is causing that error.
