undefined method `authenticate_user!' on Rails 3 app

[Nicholas Faiz]

Hi,

I've checked my configuration several times, but seem unable to access
any of the Devise::Controllers::Helpers methods in my controllers in
my Rails 3 app..

What steps am I supposed to follow to ensure this will happen? At the
moment I'm simply running 'rails generate devise:install'.

Additionally, I've tried including the Helpers module into my
controllers. No joy.

Thanks,
Nicholas

authenticate_user! is only available after you call `rails g devise User`.

Try following the steps as in the README and you should be ok!

The problem was that my user model is namespaced. In this case it's
called Inkling::User. So the way the behaviours were generated and
added to the controllers made it, instead, authenticate_inkling_user!

It would be great to have these things mentioned in documentation.

Cheers,
Nicholas

It is documented in devise_for method:

http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/rails/routes.rb#L94

If you think the documentation could be better, patches are welcome!

Jose - okay, thanks.

I've ran into namespacing issues twice, and had read the main doc. at
github. If I have time I'll try to add to that - just a simple mention
that you'll need some extra config. for namespacing would help in the
readme.
