Ruby on Rails Sign Up Page Issues (spitting out error without an error provided)

I am trying to work on a simple signup page using Ruby on Rails, however I'm running into an issue. When a user is logging in, the validation errors I have set up are being triggered when they should not be (it is saying the password is not long enough when it is).

Here is some relevant code:

user_controller.rb:

def create
    @user = User.new(user_params)

    respond_to do |format|
      if @user.save
        format.html { redirect_to @user, notice: 'User was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @user }
      else
        format.html { render :new }
        format.json { render json: @user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

User.rb model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    #attr_accessor :name, :email, :password_digest
    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,
                      format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX }, 
                      uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }

    has_secure_password
    validates :password, length: { minimum: 6 }

    has_many :microposts
end

new.html.slim view:

- provide(:title, 'Sign up')
h1 Sign up
.row
  .col-md-6.col-md-offset-3
    = form_for(@user) do |f|
      = render 'shared/error_messages'
      = f.label :name
      = f.text_field :name, class: 'form-control'
      = f.label :email
      = f.text_field :email, class: 'form-control'
      = f.label :password
      = f.password_field :password, class: 'form-control'
      = f.label :password_confirmation, "Confirmation"
      = f.password_field :password_confirmation, class: 'form-control'
      = f.submit "Create my account", class: "btn btn-primary"

When I try to create a new user, the route changes from signup to users. However, the user is not created, and the errors are:

The form contains 2 errors. Password can't be blank Password is too short (minimum is 6 characters)

However, a password was entered. Do you see anything that would cause this? Thank you.

EDIT:

This is the console output when trying to make a user on the signup page:

I am not sure why password and password_confirmation are "unpremitted". Any ideas?

Make sure you are using Devise latest version and have a look at DeviseStrongParameters

Add to your application controller

before_filter :add_sanitized_params, if: :devise_controller?

def add_sanitized_params
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) {|u| u.permit(:password, :password_confirmation)}
end

Please let me know if it does not work ...

Print out what you are passing into User.new(). If the password is not being passed in, check that you have explicitly allowed it in the strong parameters. ie) params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password)
