Ruby on rails 5 uninitialized constant ApplicationRecord (NameError)

Question

I keep getting this error "/home/ubuntu/workspace/au5/app/models/user.rb:1:in `': uninitialized constant ApplicationRecord (NameError)"

I'm new to Ruby on Rails and am following a tutorial on learning to create a sign/login page.

user.rb

class User < ApplicationRecord
    has_secure_password
end

What am i doing wrong?

Make sure that the app/models/application_record.rb file exists and that it has the following (or similar) code

# Base ApplicationRecord Class
class ApplicationRecord < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.abstract_class = true
end

If not, add it. It should have been generated by rails new.

If it's not running the app through rails server or console you will get that error because rails has it own auto loading which might be the reason you get this error – a14m Dec 03 '16 at 22:26
