Can't Edit Item Error NoMethodError in Items#edit - ruby

Question

I have an Item Model. Its for a retail store.
When im on an item view. Lets say for item id 11. Then i click on edit button. I receive the following error
Anyone have any clues? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
NoMethodError in Items#edit
undefined method `errors' for nil:NilClas
<% if #user.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<div class="alert alert-danger">
The form contains <%= pluralize(#user.errors.count, "error") %>.
</div>
<ul>
Below is where my edit button is in Item View
<!-- right column -->
<div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-5">
<div class = "itemtitle"><%= #item.title %> </div>
<div class = "price">$<%= #item.price %> </div>
<%= link_to "Edit Items", edit_item_path(#item) %>
<div class="productFilter productFilterLook2">
<div class="filterBox">
<select>
<option value="strawberries" selected>Quantity</option>
</select>
</div>
Here is my Items controller.
class ItemsController < ApplicationController
def index
#items = Item.paginate(page: params[:page])
end
def new
#item = Item.new
end
def edit
#item = Item.find(params[:id])
end
def show
#item = Item.find(params[:id])
end
def update
if #item.update(pin_params)
redirect_to #item, notice: 'Item was successfully updated.'
else
render action: 'edit'
end
end
def create
#item = current_user.items.build(item_params)
if #item.save
redirect_to #item
flash[:success] = "You have created a new item"
else
flash[:danger] = "Your item didn't save"
render "new"
end
end
def destroy
#item.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to items_url, notice: 'Item was successfully deleted' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
private
def item_params
params.require(:item).permit(:title, :price, :description, :image)
end
end
_error_messages.html.erb
<% if #user.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<div class="alert alert-danger">
The form contains <%= pluralize(#user.errors.count, "error") %>.
</div>
<ul>
<% #user.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>

You don't define #user in your edit action.
Probably somewhere in the template you render for the edit action you ask for #user.errors.any?. Either disable this part or modify to something like #item.errors.any? etc.
