Question

I got really stuck with the tutorial and have been slowly pulling it back into shape. (I’m a 2 week newbie). When I run

bundle exec rspec spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb -e "edit page"

I get

sis-macbook-pro:sample_app Lagaspi$ bundle exec rspec spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb -e "edit page"
Run options: include {:full_description=>/(?-mix:edit\ page)/}

Any ideas?

users_controller.rb

class UsersController < ApplicationController

def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
end

def new
@user = User.new
end

def create
@user = User.new(params[:user])
if @user.save
  sign_in @user
  flash[:success] = "Welcome to the Sample App!"
  redirect_to @user
else
  render 'new'
   end
 end
end

Answer 1

Your problem seems to be that you don’t have an edit action. Add this

def edit
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
end

to your Users Controller.
