Create user comments and edit?

When attempting to create a user comment I receive the following errors. I then plan to edit and delete the comments once this is working.

ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid in CommentsController#create

Validation failed: User must exist

You are trying to create the comment before associating the user, try this instead

 def create
    @comment = @article.comments.build(comment_params)
    @comment.user = current_user
    @comment.save
    redirect_to article_path(@article), notice: "Comment added successfully"
  end
