I was following along in this video on creating Devise views. After I entered the code from 1:00-1:55, I refreshed the Treebook page. Instead of showing a new view, it gave me this error:
"Routing Error No route matches [GET] "/" Try running rake routes for more information on available routes."
I have no idea what happened. I couldn't find any errors in what I typed. Here is my code from views/devise/registrations/new.html.erb:
<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" %>
Just for kicks, here are the first few lines of routes.rb:
Treebook::Application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
resources :statuses
Any idea what could have gone wrong?
