You're being told that you have a nil object on line 2 when evaluating the "login" method. So "user" is nil - and I'd guess we'd expect it to be a User object... I can't see anywhere in the controller (CommentController I assume) that assigns a user to a comment, so that's a good place for you to start. Make sure somewhere does something along the lines of "comment.user = current_user"... even hard-code comment.user_id to a known value to check that when there *is* a user on the comment, the view displays correctly. Then you can go back and make sure the comment is being built properly. Hope this helps.
