Rails 3 devise user registration edit path not working

Question

I have a pretty straight forward app with a couple tweaks to Devise.

First I created a Registrations controller that class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController inherits from Devise. I created this controller so that I could edit users without re-supplying passwords. https://gist.github.com/1514687

I also did this in my routes:

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations" }`

The signup works fine but when I call the following:

<p class="edit"><%= link_to "Edit", edit_user_registration_path(user) %></p>

The url it spits out is (running on localhost): http://localhost:3000/users/edit.2

Any ideas here?

Answer 1

I recommend a non-devise controller for doing this, and name it something other that "users" for the sake of not overlapping with devise routes

some key nomenclature:

rails g controller accounts
resources :accounts

def edit
 @user = User.find(params[:id]
end

(other controller actions similar, just refer to @user and don't worry about that this happens to be called the accounts controller)

Answer 2

In your routes.rb file make sure that you have

resources :users

after your devise_for line like below:

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations" }
resources :users
