Having an 'Undefined Method' error in my Ruby on Rails Code

Question

I am currently in the middle of a project where we have to use Ruby on Rails which I haven't used before. I am trying to add a login system and found a guide using AuthLogic (https://gist.github.com/ahmadhasankhan/858801cda04a56ee0c17) and everything was working as I expected until the 12th step. I try to add:

acts_as_authentic do |c|
c.login_field = :email
end

to my user.rb file.

However, when I try to update the page I get 'undefined method `acts_as_authentic' for main:Object'.

Being a complete newby and unable to find any help to fix this specific issue thought I'd ask.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you run the bundle command to install the third party code that acts_as_authentic probably comes from? — Sunil D.

I have yes, I ran it again there to double check but still have the same error. I followed the guide exactly as it is which is why I'm having difficulty finding the issue. — G.Hines

Make sure the code goes inside the User class, like this:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_authentic do |c|
    c.login_field = :email
  end
end
