Devise Not Installing

I've added gem 'devise' into the Gemfile

Then I call bundle install in terminal. All appears to be well.

Trouble hits after I do rails generate devise:install

This is all that comes back: Called from: /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/actionpack-3.2.8/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/session/abstract_store.rb:28:in `initialize'.

I can't figure out how to fix it. Any thoughts?

Hey Matt, this is kind of strange. Can you zip up your project folder and email it to help@teamtreehouse.com?

Hi Jason, I'm getting a similar issue. It says:

Lorcans-MacBook-Pro:treebook l$ rails generate devise:install SECURITY WARNING: No secret option provided to Rack::Session::Cookie. This poses a security threat. It is strongly recommended that you provide a secret to prevent exploits that may be possible from crafted cookies. This will not be supported in future versions of Rack, and future versions will even invalidate your existing user cookies.

Could not find generator devise:install.

Does that sound familiar to you? Lorcan

Hey Lorcan, try running bundle install again and then rails generate devise:install.

Don't know if you ever found the answer, but I was having the same problem and after a while figured it out.

I went to my routes.rb file and commented out the line devise_for :installs

Then I went back and reran rails generate devise:install

This still is not working for me. I went into the routes.rb folder, but the whole folder was practically commented out. What was not, I commented out one by one to see if that would work and it didnt. Any help?

Throw it up to the celebrity feedback!! woot woot

It turns out that I created multiple Treebook directories and I was in the wrong one. I had to restart, however, because after I installed devise stuff kept messing up. The code for bootstrap didn't work too well either because I had version 3, and was following version 2 instructions.... I'll let you know if I encounter problems again, though.

It's not working for me either. I keep getting: 'could not find generator devise:install'

I wrote down both gem 'devise' and then deleted that and added gem 'devise', '3.2.13'

both did not work

I have fixed the problem, I think rails 4.0.2 change the routing sintax, in routes.rb read a default route example commented and don't use the code ':to' , simple " root 'statuses#index' " and it works!!!! LOL a Seifer finish smile for this!!
