getting error from devise "User does not respond to 'devise' method" when running "rails generate devise:install"

I'm getting error from devise "User does not respond to 'devise' method" when running "rails generate devise:install". Ideas re how to resolve?

In fact also get this error when trying to run "rails generate devise:install" I just noted.

Notes:

Gregs-MacBook-Pro:testapp greg$ rails generate devise:install
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/devise-2.0.1/lib/devise/rails/routes.rb:406:in `raise_no_devise_method_error!': User does not respond to 'devise' method. This usually means you haven't loaded your ORM file or it's being loaded too late. To fix it, be sure to require 'devise/orm/YOUR_ORM' inside 'config/initializers/devise.rb' or before your application definition in 'config/application.rb' (RuntimeError)

It sounds like you already have the devise method being called in your User model. Perhaps you already ran rails g devise User ?

Comment that out, and comment out the devise_for :users line in your routes file, if that is in there.

Completing a tutorial for rails & these answers didn't work for me, but after some searching found a solution. Hope this helps anyone else who's new and running into this issue.

  1. Go to: config/routes.rb file
  2. Comment out the line devise_for :installs (put a hash tag in front)
  3. Go to your Ruby terminal and re-enter: rails generate devise:install

Now Devise should install properly & subsequent errors should be gone.
