I am trying to follow this tutorial (Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl) to create a valid user. Filling in the password fields still gives me the error "Password cannot be blank" and "Password has to be longer thank 6 letters". I tried creating a user through the rails console, and that worked fine. It is only when I try doing it through the website itself.
My user model looks like this:
class User < ApplicationRecord
#before saving, make sure the email is in downcase
before_save { self.email = email.downcase }
validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }
VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i
validates :email, presence: true, length: { maximum: 255 },
format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX },
uniqueness: {case_sensitive: false}
has_secure_password
validates :password, presence: true, length: { minimum: 6 }
end
My user_controller looks like this:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_user, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
#wrap_parameters :user, include: [:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation]
def index
@users = User.all
end
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
#debugger
end
def new
@user = User.new
end
# GET /users/1/edit
def edit
end
#POST /users
#POST /users.json
def create
@user = User.new(user_params) #params[:user])#user_params)
respond_to do |format|
if @user.save
#flash[:success] = "Welcome to CourseBuddies!"
format.html { redirect_to @user, notice: 'User was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @user }
redirect_to @user
else
#render 'new'
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: @user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# PATCH/PUT /users/1
# PATCH/PUT /users/1.json
def update
respond_to do |format|
if @user.update(user_params)
format.html { redirect_to @user, notice: 'User was successfully updated.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @user }
else
format.html { render :edit }
format.json { render json: @user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# DELETE /users/1
# DELETE /users/1.json
def destroy
@user.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to users_url, notice: 'User was successfully destroyed.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
private
# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_user
@user = User.find(params[:id])
end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :pasword, :password_confirmation)
end
end
This is my Migration file create_user:
class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
def change
create_table :users do |t|
t.string :name
t.string :email
t.string :password
t.string :password_confirmation
t.timestamps
end
end
end
I've tried different solutions found online like using "wrap_parameters" and such it doesn't seem to do anything for me.

I would appreciate any kind of help or clarification. Thanks!
The actual reason for the error is you mistyped password as pasword in your user_params. Fixing the typo should solve your problem.
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation)
end
