======================================================================== Is this the correct migration?

    class SorceryCore < ActiveRecord::Migration
      def change
        create_table :users do |t|
         t.string :email,            :null => false
         t.string :crypted_password, :null => false
         t.string :salt,             :null => false

         t.timestamps
       end

        add_index :users, :email, unique: true
      end  
   end

From the error message given, it seems like there a "NOT NULL" constraint on email field and you need to have an email field present with data while inserting.

Solutions to overcome this problem:

1. Check for the migration in db/migrate where email field corresponding to user model is defined.
2. Drop the model/ rollback that specific migration
3. Remove the null(key) constraint from migration file and migrate it again.
4. Check schema.rb and there should be no null: false with the email field.
