I am trying to write a plugin which will update a user field. I can use the update user meta function OK, but when I try the wp_update_user it doesnt work.

wp_update_user($user_ID, 'user_nicename', 'test');

That crashes the plugin.
Do I need to include something for this function to work??

    Read the Codex on wp_update_user() – you’re not using it correctly. It should be;

    wp_update_user(array('ID' => $user_ID, 'user_nicename' => 'test'));
