Iām in the "Generating the Devise Views" section and my form does not look correct because there is no place for me to enter the; First name, Last name, and Profile name fields when refresh my html page. I have the above labels printing, however, there is no place for me to input the text. Please see my code below and let me know where I could be going wrong. Thanks!
This is from the new.html.erb file found in registrations:
<h2>Sign up</h2>
<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %> <%= devise_error_messages! %>
<div><%= f.label :first_name %><br /> <% f.text_field :first_name %></div>
<div><%= f.label :last_name %><br />
<% f.text_field :last_name %></div>
<div><%= f.label :profile_name %><br />
<% f.text_field :profile_name %></div>
<div><%= f.label :email %><br /> <%= f.email_field :email, :autofocus => true %></div>
<div><%= f.label :password %><br /> <%= f.password_field :password %></div>
<div><%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br /> <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %></div>
<div><%= f.submit "Sign up" %></div> <% end %>
<%= render "devise/shared/links" %>

I have done this SO many times and you may have caught it already, but take a look at your text_field tags.
Remember when using erb the = sign within the opening tag tells ruby to render the output. If you omit the <%= and just have <%, then the code will execute, but will not render in the html.
