Ruby on Rails devise - No route matches [GET] “/users”

Question

First time using devise I'm a little confused. I've followed a tutorial that manually goes through authentication so I have some understanding of Rails in this respect.

Normally when you create a scaffold for a User you get a Users controller with all the methods for showing, editing, adding etc. users, which can be accessed through the browser via http://localhost:3000/users/[action] .

I have destroyed the User scaffold and started again with devise (rails generate devise User) but this does not create a controller at all. Going to http://localhost:3000/users/ gives the error No route matches [GET] "/users" .

Am I supposed to create my own controller? Where do I go from here?

I think you did not initialized devise. You should probably run

rails generate devise:install

And then generate model for User by running

rails generate devise User
