@users variable empty. forget to pass the collection object for will_paginate?

Problem localhost:3000/users/ won't display I enter humbly as I am trying to make it through the rails tutorial for the first time. I am in chapter 10 and I have been trouble shooting this for 5 hours. When I attempt to visit localhost:3000/users/ I get an error (I believe this has something to do with factory_girl) that explain that the @users variable is empty and that I forgot to pass a collection object for will_paginate. I'm currently at chapter 10, section 10.23 and each time I run: $ bundle exec rake db:reset $ bundle exec rake db:populate $ bundle exec rake db:test:prepare I get an error explaining that rake aborted! Factory already registered: micropost This is my second time trying this chapter as I encountered problems the first time and started from chapter 9. Please help and be clear and detailed when providing directions. I am happy to post whatever files that will be helpful. Here is my index.html.erb - I save these as HTML, should they be saved as ruby files instead? ``` <% provide(:title, 'All users') %> <h1>All users</h1> <%= will_paginate %> <ul class="users"> <%= render @users %> </ul> <%= will_paginate %> ``` Here is my users controller ``` class UsersController < ApplicationController before_filter :signed_in_user, only: [:index, :edit, :update, :destroy] before_filter :correct_user, only: [:edit, :update] before_filter :admin_user, only: :destroy def show @user = User.find(params[:id]) @microposts = @user.microposts.paginate(page: params[:page]) end end def new @user = User.new end def index @title = "All users" @users = User.paginate(:page => params[:page]) end def create @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.save sign_in @user flash[:success] = "Do more of the things you love!" redirect_to @user else render 'new' end end def edit end def update if @user.update_attributes(params[:user]) flash[:success] = "Profile updated" sign_in @user redirect_to @user else render 'edit' end end def destroy User.find(params[:id]).destroy flash[:success] = "User destroyed." redirect_to users_url end private def signed_in_user unless signed_in? store_location redirect_to signin_url, notice: "Please sign in." end end def correct_user @user = User.find(params[:id]) redirect_to(root_path) unless current_user?(@user) end def admin_user redirect_to(root_path) unless current_user.admin? end ```
