rake aborted!

I'm getting this error message: ArgumentError: Invalid route name, already in use: 'new_user_session' How would you fix this?

Can you post up your routes.rb file? Also the output when you run rake routes.

Hi Mike, Sure, here's routes.rb:

Rails.application.routes.draw do devise_for :users resources :statuses root to: 'statuses#index' devise_for :users end

When I run rake routes, here's the output:

Michaels-MacBook-Pro:treebook michaelbaker$ rake routes rake aborted! ArgumentError: Invalid route name, already in use: 'new_user_session' You may have defined two routes with the same name using the :as option, or you may be overriding a route already defined by a resource with the same naming. For the latter, you can restrict the routes created with resources as explained here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#restricting-the-routes-created /Users/michaelbaker/ruby-build/treebook/config/routes.rb:8:in block in <top (required)>' /Users/michaelbaker/ruby-build/treebook/config/routes.rb:1:in<top (required)>' /Users/michaelbaker/ruby-build/treebook/config/environment.rb:5:in `<top (required)>' Tasks: TOP => routes => environment (See full trace by running task with --trace) Michaels-MacBook-Pro:treebook michaelbaker$

Thanks, Michael
