undefined local variable or method `summitted_password' Ruby on Rails Tutorial Chapter 9

Question

I'm reading Ruby on Rails tutorial. On chapter 9 after wrote all the code, for sign in and remember me code. My rspec test still fail. this are the exactly error:

Failures:
  1) SessionsController POST 'create' with valid email and password should sign the user in
     Failure/Error: post :create, :session => @attr
     undefined local variable or method `summitted_password' for #<Class:0x007fc05395e280>
     # ./app/models/user.rb:38:in `authenticate'
     # ./app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb:7:in `create'
     # ./spec/controllers/sessions_controller_spec.rb:47:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'

  2) SessionsController POST 'create' with valid email and password should redirect to the user show page
     Failure/Error: post :create, :session => @attr
     undefined local variable or method `summitted_password' for #<Class:0x007fc05395e280>

Does anybody have the same problem, because I didn't find any typo.

This is my session_controller

class SessionsController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @title = "Sign in"
  end

  def create
    user = User.authenticate(params[:session][:email],
                             params[:session][:password])
     if user.nil?
      flash.now[:error] = "Invalid email/password combination."
      @title = "Sign in"
      render 'new'
    else
      sign_in user
      redirect_to user
    end
  end

  def destroy
  end

end

After fixed the type on the user model, I get this error on the test:

Failures:
  1) SessionsController POST 'create' with valid email and password should sign the user in
     Failure/Error: post :create, :session => @attr
     undefined method `user_url' for #<SessionsController:0x007fc347354e38>

     # ./spec/controllers/sessions_controller_spec.rb:47:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'

  2) SessionsController POST 'create' with valid email and password should redirect to the user show page
     Failure/Error: post :create, :session => @attr

Should it have been submitted_password? I think you may have made a typo in user.rb — Bradley Priest

You are a letter out.

it should be submitted_password not summitted_password on line 38 of user.rb
