I've been trying to add a password reset for users that forget their password. The users clicks on forgot password? on sign up page. Then the user types their email and clicks reset password, which creates a token and sends an email with a link to reset their password. For the most part, it was working well, and then it suddenly stopped working. When a user clicks password reset, it brings up the error message: Password cant be blank, password is too short(6 min)
Ran into this error in video 275 How I Test. on 11:20
Failure/Error: click_button "Reset Password"
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid:
Validation failed: Password can't be blank, Password is too short (minimum is 6 characters), Password confirmation can't be blank
