the attr_accessible and the attributes didn't appear after installing devise. I've done this in two different environments, and it's causing errors later.

Did something change in the newest version of Devise?

something changed in the newest version of rails. Rails 4 added strong parameters which is used instead of attr_accessible

If you dont want to have any problems I would uninstall rails 4 and use the version used in the videos (3.2 maybe? its 3.something).

If you use rails 4 your experience will not be the same as whats in the videos, and you will have to figure some issues out on your own.

I ended up going off-track with this tutorial, but I'm hoping that the testing section will be relevant to rails 4.

I know Rails 3.2 is still stable and valid, but I don't want to start off behind.
