bundle exec rake db:populate - activerecord::recordinvalid:validation failed:email has already been taken

I am currently at chapter 10 of michael hartl's tutorial and there is a problem when i try to do bundle exec rake db:populate.

Attached is the error message:

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Attached is the sample_data.rake file:

namespace :db do
  desc "Fill database with sample data"
  task populate: :environment do
    admin = User.create!(name: "Example User",
                         email: "[email protected]",
                         password: "foobar",
                         password_confirmation: "foobar",
                         admin: true)
    User.create!(name: "Example User",
                 email: "[email protected]",
                 password: "foobar",
                 password_confirmation: "foobar")
    99.times do |n|
      name  = Faker::Name.name
      email = "example-#{n+1}@railstutorial.org"
      password  = "password"
      User.create!(name: name,
                   email: email,
                   password: password,
                   password_confirmation: password)
      users = User.all(limit: 6)
      50.times do
        content = Faker::Lorem.sentence(5)
        users.each { |user| user.microposts.create!(content: content) }
      end
    end
  end
end

Most likely, you have solved the problem, I encountered this as well and solved it by adding attr_accessible :content or other attr_accessible in the model files. I hope this would help someone else.

admin = User.create!(name: "Example User",
  email: "[email protected]",
  password: "foobar",
  password_confirmation: "foobar",
  admin: true)

User.create!(name: "Example User",
  email: "[email protected]", # This email is used to create admin above.
                                      # Use another email here
  password: "foobar",
  password_confirmation: "foobar")

The error is from this line

users = User.all(limit: 6)

The active record method all doesnt accept any parameters. Change it to

users = User.limit(6)
