Logging on to My Rails Server, My ByeBug isn't Working?

Question

Here is my github to my project. I put byebug into all of my controller actions to debug this login form...

<h1>Login</h1>
<%= form_with model: @user do |form| %>
  <%= render "partials/usererrorform" %>
  <%= form.label :user_name %>
  <%= form.text_field :user_name %>
  <br>  
  <%= form.label :password %>
  <%= form.password_field :password %>
  <br>
  <%= form.submit "LogOn"%>
  <% end %>

class LogInController < ApplicationController
  include ApplicationHelper
  ...
    def post_login
    byebug
    @user = User.find_by(user_name: params[:user][:user_name])
    if @user && @user.authenticate(params[:user_name][:password])
      session[:user_name_id] = @user.id
      redirect_to user_path(@user) 
      
    else
      @user ||= User.new
      render :login
    end
   end
  ...
  end

Could someone tell me why my byebug isn't showing up in my terminal when I click LogOn?

This is the output when I click LogOn...

Where am I going wrong? Why isn't the byebug working?

In the LogInController, post_login, I edited again so you can see it above. — Kim, Nov 10 '20 at 16:01

In your log output, the controller being hit is UsersController#create, not LogInController#post_login. You'll either need to change up the form to hit this controller, or stick your byebug into the UsersController#create action instead.
