Question

The installation for clearance seems very straight forward (https://github.com/thoughtbot/clearance). I’m following in the instructions, although I’m getting an error almost immediately.

On the the fifth step “rake db:migrate”

I get the following error:

rake aborted!
undefined method `configure' for Clearance:Module

I have no idea what I should be doing differently?

Thanks in advance!

updating with added trace

** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!
undefined method `configure' for Clearance:Module

Turns out the installation wiki was outdated. It has since been updated.
