Tests fail for categories/edit and posts/edit

[jhharwood88]

After following the lesson the tests fail similarly to the last lab, generating the errors:

Failures:

1. categories/edit shows an update form that submits content, redirects, and shows the updated content
   Failure/Error: category.update(params.require(:category))
   ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError:
   ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError

2. posts/edit shows an update form that submits content, redirects, and shows the updated content
   Failure/Error: post.update(params.require(:post))
   ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError:
   ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError

These appear to be caused by issues with the category and posts controller.

The category controller will pass the spec tests if .permit! is added after the update call call

Previously:
def update
category = Category.find(params[:id])
category.update(params.require(:category))
redirect_to category_path(category)
end
Passing:
def update
category = Category.find(params[:id])
category.update(params.require(:category).permit!)
redirect_to category_path(category)
end

The same can be done for the posts controler:
Previously:
def update
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
@post.update(params.require(:post))
redirect_to post_path(@post)
end
Passing:
def update
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
@post.update(params.require(:post).permit!)
redirect_to post_path(@post)
end

Im assuming this was not the intended function given they are not addressed in the lesson and it appears to be a codealong.
