Hartl's Ruby on Rails Section 7.3 Tutorial Sign-up Test Failure

After coding users_signup_test.rb and expecting a GREEN response, it is still failing for some reason. The tutorial states I should be getting a GREEN response at this phase, but I am not. This is what I receive:

1) Error:
UsersSignupTest#test_invalid_signup_information:
ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError: ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError
    app/controllers/users_controller.rb:12:in `create'
    test/integration/users_signup_test.rb:8:in `block (2 levels) in <class:UsersSignupTest>'
    test/integration/users_signup_test.rb:7:in `block in <class:UsersSignupTest>'

16 runs, 31 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors, 0 skips

The only deviation I've had to do from the book that may affect this is one I had to make in the user.rb model and it is as follows:

validates( :email, presence: true, length: { maximum: 255}, format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX }, uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false } )

as opposed to the book's:

validates( :email, presence: true, length: { maximum: 255}, format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX }, uniqueness: case_sensitive: false )

which would give me an error.

Here is my users_signup_test.rb file:

require 'test_helper'

class UsersSignupTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

  test "invalid signup information" do
    get signup_path
    assert_no_difference 'User.count' do
      post users_path, user: { name: "", email: "user@invalid", password: "foo", password_confirmation: "bar" }
    end
    assert_template 'users/new'
  end

end

Let me know if any other code is needed to help diagnose this issue.

As an additional note, I also ran into issues that others have as well using sass-rails 5.0.1 and so I am using sass-rails 5.0.2.

Thank you everyone for your help.

Found the answer!

Sorry for the unnecessary post. Researched the error and found it's related to Strong Params. Looking closely at the book, I missed this line:

@user = User.new(user_params)

which changed from

@user = User.new(params[:user])

So I wasn't passing the parameters to the controller properly. Sorry everyone!

Do you have well-defined the needed parameters (user_params function) when you create an user ? If you're following the tutorial you should end with something like this in your users_controller.rb:

class UsersController < ApplicationController

  def create
    @user = User.new(user_params)
    # more logic
  end

  private

    def user_params
      params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation)
    end
end

Because it looks like you're passing an user parameter that is not permitted by the controller.
