So I can sign up and update users correctly, but somehow Devise is still using the default controllers, and not the update method I indicated in registrations_controller.rb (proof of that is line 'puts "jarabe"' is not printed in my trace and same for the notice: "User was successfully updated.", it's not printed, but instead I see "Your account has been updated successfully"

You are only overriding routes for SessionsController and forgot to also specify your RegistrationsController . In your routes.rb change this line:

devise_for :users, controllers: { sessions: 'users/sessions' }

to:

devise_for :users, controllers: { sessions: 'users/sessions', registrations: 'users/registrations' }
