*Am I right? > > * It's hard to say because it's extremely hard to piece together what code exactly is excuting - seems like there's at least 3 different versions in this thread, but it sounds to me like you've definte a password= method always calls self.password= which (by definition) calls your password= method and so you end up in an infinite recursion. The original tutorial you followed used a different name for the attribute so instead of calling self.password they were calling self.hashed_password= instead. You could either follow the tutorial (although as others have pointed it, it is really old (Rails 3.2has a has_secure_password that handles this) or use self.write_attribute(:password, some_value) when you want to store the hashed value Fred > **Regards > Sumit Srivastava > > The power of imagination makes us infinite... > > > On 27 July 2012 16:12, Michael Pavling <pavl...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On 27 July 2012 11:37, sumit srivastava <sumit.theinvinci...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> > This is what I receive, >> > >> > SystemStackError (stack level too deep): >> > app/models/user.rb:26:in `password=' >> > app/models/user.rb:27:in `password=' >> > app/controllers/user_controller.rb:31:in `new' >> > app/controllers/user_controller.rb:31:in `createuser' >> > >> > Here createuser action is used to store the user info into database. >> > >> > Line 31 reads as follows, >> > @user = User.new(params[:user]) >> >> I would put a breakpoint on that line and then keep stepping into >> until you see where it's looping :-/ >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. >> To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> rubyonrails-talk+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. >> >> >> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
