Devise 'Unknown action' when overwriting registration controller

I'm trying to overwrite Devise registration controller and here is my setup:

registrations_controller.rb

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  before_filter :authenticate_user!, :only => :token

  def new
    super
  end

  def create
    @request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
    @user = User.new(params[:user])

    if @user.save
      render 'create.js', :success => true
    else
      render 'create.js', :success => false
    end
  end
end

routes.rb

(...)
devise_for :users, :controllers => {:sessions => 'sessions', :registrations => 'registrations'}
match 'registrations/create'        => 'registrations#create'   , :as => :user_register
# not matter if i'll put `match 'registrations/create'` line above or under the `devise_for` line
(...)

And it all (when i'll point my browser to registrations/create) gives me an error:

Unknown action

Could not find devise mapping for path "/registrations/create". This may happen for two reasons: 1) You forgot to wrap your route inside the scope block. For example: devise_scope :user do match "/some/route" => "some_devise_controller" end 2) You are testing a Devise controller bypassing the router. If so, you can explicitly tell Devise which mapping to use: @request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]

I've found some threads describing similar issue but they were not helpfull at all. Thank you for any advice!

As the error message clearly states, you need to wrap your Devise routes in a block like so:

devise_scope :user do
  match 'registrations/create' => 'registrations#create', :as => :user_register
end

Devise does not accept routes outside of that block.
