Devise routing error on Forgot password

Question

When I click on <%= link_to "Forgot your password?", new_password_path(resource_name) %>

It takes me to

http://0.0.0.0:3000/users/password/new

with the routing error

ActionController::RoutingError in Devise/passwords#new

Showing app/views/devise/passwords/new.html.erb where line #3 raised:

No route matches {:controller=>"users", :action=>"password", :id=>:user}

Edit:

new.html.erb Error on this line

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => password_path(resource_name), :html => { :method => :post }) do |f| %>

Passwords_controller.rb

class Devise::PasswordsController < ApplicationController
  #prepend_before_filter :require_no_authentication
  include Devise::Controllers::InternalHelpers

    render_with_scope :new

    else
      respond_with_navigational(resource){ render_with_scope :new }
    end
  end

  def edit
    self.resource = resource_class.new
    resource.reset_password_token = params[:reset_password_token]
    render_with_scope :edit
  end

  # PUT /resource/password

      respond_with resource, :location => redirect_location(resource_name, resource)
    else
      respond_with_navigational(resource){ render_with_scope :edit }
    end
  end

  protected

Answer 1

I think you are missing this line in routes.rb

devise_for :users

If this doesn't help you then I recommend to follow this two railscasts:

• http://railscasts.com/episodes/209-introducing-devise
• http://railscasts.com/episodes/210-customizing-devise

You will find all necessary information there.

Answer 2

I ran into a similar issue. I was missing the recoverable model in my User model:

class User
  devise :database_authenticatable,
         :registerable,
         :validatable,
         :recoverable
end

Once I added :recoverable I saw the missing password routes when I ran rake routes:

         user_password POST   /users/password(.:format)                       devise/passwords#create
   new_user_password GET    /users/password/new(.:format)                   devise/passwords#new
  edit_user_password GET    /users/password/edit(.:format)                  devise/passwords#edit
                     PUT    /users/password(.:format)                       devise/passwords#update
