action mailer for rails 4

I have been following quite an old tutorial in order to create a contact form and then create a mailer that sends to the site admin. I am running into some problems i think because i am on rails 4.1.1 and the tutorial is so old! I was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance-i am learning rails. The error i am currently getting is NoMethodError in MessagesController#create undefined method `subject' for # subject message.subject

here is my code

messages controller:

class MessagesController < ApplicationController before_action :set_message, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy] # GET /messages # GET /messages.json def index @messages = Message.all end # GET /messages/1 # GET /messages/1.json def show end # GET /messages/new def new @message = Message.new end # GET /messages/1/edit def edit end # POST /messages # POST /messages.json def create @message = Message.new(message_params) respond_to do |format| if @message.save ContactMailer.deliver_message(@message) flash.now[:notice] = 'Thank you for your message!' format.html { redirect_to root_path } format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @message } else format.html { render :new } format.json { render json: @message.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end 

end

# PATCH/PUT /messages/1 # PATCH/PUT /messages/1.json def update respond_to do |format| if @message.update(message_params) format.html { redirect_to @message, notice: 'Message was successfully updated.' } format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @message } else format.html { render :edit } format.json { render json: @message.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end end

# DELETE /messages/1 # DELETE /messages/1.json def destroy @message.destroy respond_to do |format| format.html { redirect_to messages_url, notice: 'Message was successfully destroyed.' } format.json { head :no_content } end end

private # Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions. def set_message @message = Message.find(params[:id]) end

# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through. def message_params params.require(:message).permit(:name, :email, :company, :phone, :subject, :body) end 

end
