New Rails User stuck on tutorial => Updating Posts/Mass Assignment

Hey guys, I've just started with Rails. I'm going through the getting started tutorial, and I'm running into this error: ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error in PostsController#update I know it has to do with the new update and the whitelist attributes, but I don't have the first idea how to fix it.

Any help would be extremely appreciated!

attr_accessible :my_attribute_name.....

to your model.rb file

Hi,

yes, I had the same problem yesterday, and I'm also going through a tutorial - maybe the same one?

Solved with 2 steps: added attr_accessible as mentioned earlier message. Also I had to change the RSpec tests from

  before     @user = User.new(name:"Example", email:"example@gmail.com").tap do

u>

        u.password = "foobar"         u.password_confirmation = "foobar"       end   end

isnted of   before     @user = User.new(name:"Example", email:"example@gmail.com", password = "foobar", password_confirmation = "foobar")   before

and npw MassAssignment erros has gone.
