Heroku error: We're sorry, but something went wrong

Question

i have deployed an app to heroku(finance tracker under "ROR developer course" from udemy.com). The login button works fine but when i click on the signup button, it gives me this error

We're sorry, but something went wrong.
If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.

I have ran heroku run rake db:migrate successfully. I used devise gem for authentication. Pls any idea someone??....thanks

Edit

RegistrationsController code

class User::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters

  protected

  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up).push(:first_name,  :last_name)
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update).push(:first_name, :last_name)
  end
end

Answer 1

So the first thing you should do is go to the Heroku admin panel for your app and look through the log file. You should find a stack trace (should look like an error followed by a bunch of method calls and line numbers). Another option is for you to remotely access the app server, go to you Heroku app directory on your computer and run (assuming you have Heroku CLI installed)

heroku run bash 

then navigate to your log directory and run

tail -f <replace_with_log_file_name>

(log file should be production.log or develop.log) and that will show you a real time stream of the log activity, so just go recreate the bug and see what happens.

Replace these lines

def configure_permitted_parameters
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up).push(:first_name,  :last_name)
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update).push(:first_name, :last_name)
end

With these lines

def configure_permitted_parameters
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:first_name,  :last_name])
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [:first_name, :last_name])
end

What happened is the gem devise that you are using changed its API in version for so the syntax you are were using is no longer valid. I am assuming that at some point in time you did a bundle update or something that inadvertently upgraded you gem
