Devise undefined method `user_changed?'

Question

Rails 4.0.1 and devise 3.4.1

Receiving the following error, regardless whether it's sign_in or sign_up:

NoMethodError in Devise::SessionsController#create

undefined method `user_changed?' for #

Devise doesn't generate any controllers by default, and none were added; there isn't a registrations or sessions_controller.

User Model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

    # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
    # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable

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

    mount_uploader :user, ImageUploader

end

Routes:

Myapp::Application.routes.draw do
  devise_for :users
  resources :posts
  resources :projects
  resources :contacts, only: [:new, :create]
  get 'welcome/index'
  root 'welcome#index'

  get '*path' => redirect('/')
end

                    root GET    /                              welcome#index

Code from app\views\devise\registrations\new.html.erb

  <%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: user_registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
    <%= devise_error_messages! %>

And finally, code from devise\sessions\new.html.erb:

<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: user_session_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
    <div class="field">
      <%= f.label :email %><br />
      <%= f.email_field :email, autofocus: true %>
    </div>

Would greatly appreciate any help to regain the ability to sign back in or sign up.

Thanks

The registrations and sessions controllers are built into devise.

I'm guessing this broke when you added u user photo?

Do you really have a field on your user table called user that holds your image? If you so, you need to create a migration to create that name.

rails g migration rename_user_photo_field

Edit hte file

class RenameUserPhoto < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    rename_column :users, :user, :photo
  end
end
