Devise - Recoverable (Password Reset)

Question

I am trying to allow the user to reset their password using the Devise recoverable option. This does not seem to work for me.

I am expanding Devise::PasswordsController so that it does not use the application layout.

 class PasswordsController < Devise::PasswordsController layout false end 

In my routes, I guarantee that my password controller is used.

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

Here is my user model, so you see that I have an option :recoverable .

 devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable 

On my login page, I have (I use haml):

 ... = link_to "Forgot your password?", new_password_path(resource_name) 

This link correctly returns me to http://localhost:3000/users/password/new . Here is the form that is there:

 %h2 Forgot your password? = form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: password_path(resource_name), html: { :method => :post }) do |f| = devise_error_messages! %div = f.label :email %br/ = f.email_field :email %div= f.submit "Send me reset password instructions" 

However, it looks like it is trying to take me to the wrong place when I press the button. It does not work every time and does not show any messages in the server log.

It redirects me to: http://localhost:3000/passwords/user and tells me:

Routing error

 No route matches "/passwords/user" 

Any idea how I can proceed? I thought using a restored option should be easier than that. What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE For the record, I simply deleted everything that I did and tried to use standard development controllers, and I changed my application layout so that it did not cause errors, and everything works. So I just need a good way to remove the application layout from the reset password page.

Answer 1

It seems that when you call password_path(resource_name) in your view code, the routing system thinks you mean /passwords/resource_name , not the controller name placed under users in Devise. This is because you have a string

 resources :passwords 

directly under your call to devise_for in your routes file. Now I'm not sure if this line exists for some reason, but does your problem go away when you comment on it?

In the interest of those who find this old thread and want a different layout on some pages, I use this method in my /views/layouts/application.html.erb app to cross out the default layout.

 <% if ( current_page?(what_ever_path)) %> <div class="container"> <%= yield %> </div> <% else %> <%= render 'layouts/header' %> <div class="container"> <%= yield %> </div> <%= render 'layouts/footer' %> <% end %>
