Error when trying to generate devise:install in Ruby on Rails

Question

I'm a new to Ruby on Rails and I tried to do some examples from Internet. But I have an error when I'm trying to generate devise install. I modified the Gemfile by adding gem devise. Then run:

bundle install

but when I run.

rails generate devise:install

I had the next error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/0.9.1/gems/devise-1.1.3/lib/devise.rb:193:in `mailer=': undefined method `ref' for ActiveSupport::Dependencies:Module (NoMethodError)

Please help me!

Answer 1

The version of Devise is rather old.

You can do:

bundle update devise

And then:

bundle install

This should upgrade the Devise gem.

Answer 2

you can try to put this inside your Gemfile instead of just gem 'devise'

gem 'devise', github: 'ghiculescu/devise', branch: 'patch-2'

Re-run bundle install

and then you can do rails generate devise:install
