my User Model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :email, :name, :password, :password_confirmation


end

enter code here

my database schema:

ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 20120601171139) do

  create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "name"
    t.string   "email"
    t.datetime "created_at",      :null => false
    t.datetime "updated_at",      :null => false
    t.string   "password_digest"
  end

end

i am using the default sqlite3 as a database.

Mass Assignment usually means passing attributes into the call that creates an object as part of an attributes hash.

Try this:

@user = User.new(name: 'hilarl', email: '[email protected]')
@user.password_digest = 'food'
@user.save

password_digest isn't attr_accessible in your user model.

Change the first line to:

attr_accessible :email, :name, :password, :password_confirmation, :password_digest
