I'm using the same syntax in another file and it's ok.

Answer 1

form_for(@user), :html => ...

That end bracket, after @user , closes the call for the method #form_for , so it doesn't know what to do with the comma and then the hash.

Change that to:

form_for(@user, :html => ...) do |f|

And you'll be good. Or even no brackets:

form_for @user, :html => ... do |f|
