railstutorial.org, Chapter 6. unknown attribute: password

Question

I have finished Chapter 6 of railstutorial but all my User model specs have started failing soon after I added password & password_confirmation

Answer 1

I think the accepted answer, to add attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation for User model is wrong. Because if has_secure_password creates those attributes virtually, that means it does it for some reason (security). So solution might be to invoke BCrypt wherever you create a User test object:

require 'bcrypt'

    @user = User.new(name: 'test', password: BCrypt::Password.create("my password"), password_confirmation: 'my password')

I wrote about this on this post:

Rails - Unknown attribute password

Please correct me if I am wrong.
