ruby on rails - 'Login' form not accessing user database -
i trying build simple user authentication application. think problem 'login' form not pointing :user database. when create new user, have set auto-login. function works great, when go login same user in login form, returns error of "username null limit 1. using rails 4.2.5 . when go rails console, can see user still exists.
i apologize in advance horrible coding habits, i've been teaching myself. thank in advance help.
sessions controller:
class sessionscontroller < applicationcontroller def new end def create user = user.find_by_username(params[:username]) if user && user.authenticate(params[:username][:password]) session[:user_id] = user.id redirect_to root_path, notice: "you logged in." else redirect_to '/login', notice: "incorrect email or password! " end end def destroy session[:user_id] = nil redirect_to root_path, notice: "logged out." end end user model
class user < activerecord::base has_secure_password validates_uniqueness_of :username, :email validates :password, length: {minimum: 6}, allow_blank: true has_many :messages end login form
<div class="login"> <%= simple_form_for :sessions |f| %> <%= f.input :username %> <%= f.input :password %> <%= f.button :submit, "login" %> <% end %> </div> when attempt login, terminal returns:

username within session object, instead of this:
user = user.find_by_username(params[:username]) you should doing this:
user = user.find_by_username(params[:sessions][:username]) also, further below, access password:
user.authenticate(params[:sessions][:password]) hope helps!
