undefined method 'authorize' with Pundit

Question

I've installed the gem Pundit in my Rails app, and have followed the instructions in the README carefully.

However, when I use authorize in any of my controllers, I get the error message "undefined method 'authorize' for .

Also, when I try to use "policy" in a view, I get the error "undefined method 'policy'".

It's as if Pundit weren't installed at all!

I've included Pundit in my Application Controller.

I have an ApplicationPolicy file with all of my policies, then policy files for each type of record that inherit from the Application Policy.

For some reason, I can't paste any of my code into this question, so I'm hoping I've included enough information!

I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Answer 1

I have recently used pundit and it worked like a charm. your error messages makes me infer that you've not run install rails g pundit:install or your policies file are not in correct directories.

or if they are then Just restarting the server should fix this. Hopefully.
