Whenever I hit the sign in button I get the following error:

NoMethodError in Devise/sessions#new

Showing /Users/chanel.n/svn-    work/gwb/trunk/PMOCCU/ProcessEnforcer/app/views/devise/sessions/new.html.erb where line #5 raised:

Here is my User Model which includes email:

class User < Role
has_and_belongs_to_many :roles

attr_accessible :name, :roles

# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :token_authenticatable, :confirmable,
# :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
     :lockable, :timeoutable, :trackable, :validatable, :token_authenticatable

# Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
attr_protected :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :department, :encrypted_password 
# attr_accessible :title, :body, :remember_me

 validates_presence_of :email

end

For whatever reason, it it not recognizing email.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Answer 1

Your email field is not accessible in the User model,You should make it accessible by using:

attr_accessible :name, :roles, :email
