Question

I followed the basic steps to add authentication to Rails using Devise from their page, but every time I try to visit a default page (such as the Sign In or Sign Up pages), I get:

---

Routing Error

No route matches {:controller=>"devise/Home"}

---

This happens whether I link to the page in a view using

link_to('Register', new_user_registration_path) 

or just visit “/users/sign_up”.

This is a different error from when I visit a page with no route defined (No route matches [GET] “/users/bad_example”), and

devise_for :users

is already present in my routes.rb. I have even tried generating views (rails g devise:views) to no avail. It looks like Devise isn’t generating/using a controller or some such. How do I go about fixing this?

Here are some files that may help:

• routes.rb
• rake routes output

Answer 1

It turns out the problem was not with Devise, but with my routes file. I have fixed my routes file as seen at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html and now this works properly.
