[Rails] Problem with undefined variable current_user

[Jen]

Hi everyone,



Link:

I'm working through the tutorial at the following link and attempting to customise/adapt the lessons for my own slightly different application. Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Rails by Example | Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial book and screencasts | by Michael Hartl <http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book>

Controller and model are attached.
Cheers,
Jen.

Error:


 NameError in UsersController#edit

undefined local variable or method `current_user' for 
#<UsersController:0x9ffad80>

|Rails.root: /home/resource_portal/website|

I'm currently trying to work through chapter 10, but having some problems with the variable 'current_user' not being properly defined in the 'signed_in' method. Everything looks fine to me, but as I am obviously missing something I'd appreciate it if someone with more experience at debugging could point me in the right direction. I can sign in with my test users and the exception only occures when attempting to edit a profile.
